Lodève - St. Fulchran

26 Jan 2012 223
I had visited Lodève before and have uploaded photos of St. Fulchran last year. This time, I was on a mission! About a year ago, widely read Baubo/Sonja had mentioned (protestant!) german satirist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799). In one of the "Sudelbuecher" Lichtenberg claims "Monks in Lodève sainted a mouse, after it had eaten from a Host." So I tried to find somebody in Lodève, who knew about this. I asked three Lodevians, but even the guide inside St. Fulchran had never ever heard of Mr. Lichtenberg. Then I took photos of the reliquaries. Some were small, but most reliquaries are small. There was not a single trace of Lichtenberg´s mouse.... Well, for me this was a "Mission Impossible". Here is the quote (in German), see [169]. books.google.de/books?id=Y4m5S_RkI0cC&pg=PA187&dq... Here is what Wikipedia knows about Lichtenberg: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Christoph_Lichtenberg .. and here is another photo of Lodève: www.flickr.com/photos/martin-m-miles/5041083843/
