Martyrs the forgotten relics

Author an photographer of the book “Martyrs – Les reliques oubliées” (Martyrs – The forgotten relics), FAVRE Editions, she delves into a colossal project. For five years she carrries out a treasure hunt, reasearching for all the relics of Saints exhumed from Roman catacombs and hidden on Swiss soil. Adorned and covered with embroidery, silk, jewelry, and gemstones, their exhibition became a place of worship and prayers. Numerous festivities were celebrated in their honor, and people would sometimes come from afar to admire these martyrs. Traveling throughout the country in search of this little-known heritage, visiting abbeys, monasteries, convents, chapels, and ossuaries, venturing into a past that is sometimes forgotten even by the clergy, monks, or nuns in place. Even historians themselves were astonished by this research, both necessary and striking in its particular beauty.
