Restoration of the reliquary of the Ursulines Martyrs before their joining Saint Gery’s church

The Ursulines in Saint-Saulve keep alive the memory of their Sisters of Valenciennes, beheaded in 1794 during the French Revolution. A reliquary taken out of their attic, and probably with remains of the Martyrs, is now being restored, before presenting it to the public in the church of Saint Géry. A real work in anthropology for a few volunteers.
