EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the Procession of the Shrine of St. Germain and others from the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Pres to the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, circa 1652. The engraving by Nicolas Cochin beautifully depicts a momentous event that took place in thanksgiving for peace and King Louis XIV's safe return. The shrine, carried through the streets of Paris, symbolizes reverence for St. Germain (c. 496-576), Bishop of Paris and founder of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. This procession possibly marked the belated end to the devastating Thirty Years War. In this image, bishops, clergy, clergymen, monks are seen carrying reliquaries containing remains or relics associated with saints as they parade through the streets with great ceremony and pageantry. Roman Catholic rituals are observed during this solemn occasion. The focal point is undoubtedly on St. Germain's shrine itself - a chasse adorned with intricate details - being reverently transported amidst chanting and ritualistic practices. This photograph not only showcases historical importance but also highlights religious devotion within French society during that era. It serves as a testament to both faith and gratitude while offering us a glimpse into an elaborate ceremonial tradition that has been passed down through generations. Overall, this artwork immortalizes an extraordinary moment in history when people united in celebration and prayerful reflection upon their patron saint's legacy at one of France's most revered churches – Saint-Sulpice in Paris.
