Rome Relics of St. Bridget of Sweden

  1. Not a comment - a question: in which church may these relics be venerated?

  2. In the chapel of the Brigittine sisters, on the Piazza Farnese, to the right of the French embassy.

    There are many more first class relics of St Birgitta of Sweden upstairs in a private chapel that was created from the room in which she died. You'll need to request permission from the sisters to visit that internal chapel, as it's not ordinarily open to the public.

  3. What a cool reliquary-like the 'Brigittine crown' on the top! Very creative!
