The museum beneath the co-cathedral is brimming with artifacts steeped in history… and stories. Archaeological finds tracing the presence of indigenous peoples back more than 2,500 years. Sacred relics. An ancient bench reserved for the exclusive use of the Barons of Longueuil.
And there’s also a recumbent statue. This life-size statue of St. Aurelia in a recumbent position contains fragments of her own bones, taken from the catacombs of Rome. It was made by two nuns from the SNJM congregation (with undeniable artistic talent), one of whom donated… her own hair (an undeniable devotion).
