The Great Procession of Tournai

Reliquary arm with relics of Saint Eleutherus, bishop of Tournai Cathedral Church, Tournai plate, 1892.

St Eleutherus is one of the first bishops of Tournai, at the begining of the 6^th century. During his youth, he was a member of the court of King Childeric. He was promoted to episcopat under Clovis by St Remi, bishop of Reims (Fr). Relics of St Eleutherus were carried to the cathedral in 1064. An arm relic of the 19^th and two shrines of the 14^th and 13^th centuries are part of the relics.
