| holy coat of treves la santa túnica [inconsútil] de Jesucristo Explanation: A supposed relic of both Mary and Jesus (i.e., she made it, he wore it). In the 1890s, the Church put it on exhibit and the Pope announced that any Catholic who came to see it would be granted full absolution of all sins. I don't know if they charged admission, but that seems to be what the text you're translating says. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2003-12-22 16:04:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Per the Columbia Encylopedia, 6th edition (online), Treves is the English and French name for the German city Trier. \"...Trier also has a Romanesque cathedral, built (11th–12th cent.) around a 4th-century nucleus and containing the Holy Coat of Treves (supposed to be the seamless coat of Jesus). Other noteworthy buildings include the Gothic Church of Our Lady (13th cent.; Ger. Liebfrauenkirche); the baroque electoral palace (17th–18th cent.); and the baroque Church of St. Paulinus (1732–54; designed by B. Neumann). The rare exhibitions (e.g., in 1844, 1891, 1933, and 1959) of the Holy Coat of Treves have been the occasions of large pilgrimages. The remains of St. Matthew are preserved in a shrine in the pilgrimage church of St. Matthew (built in the 12th cent. around an earlier Benedictine monastery). Trier also has a theological seminary, a school of viticulture, and several museums, including one in the house where Karl Marx was born (1818)....\" From http://www.bartleby.com/65/tr/Trier.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2003-12-22 16:05:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think I just figured out \"lucrative imposition\": the peasants probably believe the supposed relic is a fraud, but it\'s lucrative for the German city to which it is home. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs 46 mins (2003-12-22 23:13:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I\'ve been poking around the web looking for more info. In Spanish, it\'s often referred to simply as \"la Santa Túnica\", presumably on the rationale that there aren\'t all *that* many other sacred coats with which to confuse it. |
