The Reliquary

This monument, erected in 1883, deserves attention. Its upper part, a quadrangular pyramid carved to reveal the original, is the former canons' ciborium (Eucharistic cupboard).
The ciborium was found at the end of the last century by Abbé Giraud, on the site of the former oratory of Michomer, an Irish monk and companion of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, in a cave on the hillside near Saint Pierre.
It was then mounted on a pedestal sculpted by two Tonnerrois stonemasons, Auguste Méchin (from Tonnerre) and Clément Marcoux (from Cry-sur-Armançon), to house a reliquary containing the remains of the patron saints of the Comtes de Tonnerre, engraved on each side.
