Aachen: It would be a surprise to have read the headline of this news. Is it holy in the name of a virus that is spreading across the globe? The question that naturally arises. But the truth is. This sacred martyrdom came when he was just 16 years old for his faith in Christ. With the pandemic spreading around the world, the history of the saint is re-filling with the major media, including Reuters, as it prepares to restore the ark of the Holy Coronation to the Cathedral of Aachen, Germany.
The ark containing the relic, which had not been exhibited for the past 25 years, is set to be on public display immediately. Made of gold and silver, the ark weighs 93 cm and weighs 98 kilograms. The Catholic Cathedral in Aachen was built by Emperor Charlemagne in the 9th century. Officials decided to put the surviving ark on display in a gold-plated exhibition this summer, just before the outbreak of coronavirus.
Daniela Loewenich, a spokeswoman for the church, said the church was planning to have the sculpture erected earlier than previously anticipated. The Romans killed Saint Corona in a cruel way in the name of faith in Jesus Christ as a teenager. Legend has it that the holy oil, which was tied to two bolts of oil, was torn in two when it was released.
In 997, King Otto III brought the Holy See to Aachen. The relics that were kept under the slab of the Temple were moved to the present ark from 1911-12. In the midst of the epidemic that is spreading throughout the world, the holy corona, which means crown and garland in Latin, is a prayer for believers to pray to God for mediation.
