April 25: Feast of the Translation of the Relics of St. Vincent
“The transfer of the relics of Saint Vincent, formerly housed in the chapel of the Daughters of Charity, rue du Bac, took place on April 25, 1830, during a grandiose procession from the square of the cathedral [Notre Dame] of Paris to the rue de Sèvres. The magnificent silver reliquary donated by the Diocese of Paris to honor the ‘father of the poor’ is the work of a very talented silversmith, Charles Odiot. The Saint is dressed in rich clothes that contrast with those he wore during his lifetime.”
