Saint Ursula...

and her Eleven Thousand Companions...

were martyred as well [in Cologne].


St. Ursula (Catharijneconvent)


Relics were believed to heal.

There was a person, also in Bruges, whose job it was to go around...

and bring the relics around to the sick, and walk through the ward [ziekenzaal].

And the virtues were supposed to radiate, and hopefully heal people.
