Waldsassen; Germany; detail of St. Valentinus. The Basilika at Waldsassen holds the largest extent collection of presumed skeletons of martyrs from the Roman Catacombs still on display. There are ten full skeletons in the nave; and also another two bust relics behind the high altar. Most of these arrived over a period of several decades in the 18th century; and were decorated by Adalbart Eder; a lay brother of the then monastic church. Valentinus is given a biretta and a book as an attribute; conforming to the belief that he was an ecclesiastic. Photo 2012.
