A Relic Of Saint Thomas?

[Church Of The True Faith 9]

Letters, arrive at the Imperial palace, and to the nobility of the Empire and cries are heard in the Imperial lands. 

 

"Paul Thomas Stephen III by the will of God the Bishop of Savoie, Vicar of Horen, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the True Church, Primate of Oren, Archbishop and Metropolitan of Keadrian, High servant of the servants of God. To all Lords Spiritual and Temporal and all other Our flock whatsoever to whom these letters shall come, Greeting!."

 

 

We would like to let you know that by the Grace of God, we have been brought an item which is claimed to be of Saint Thomas Chivys body, his eyes. Moreover we require the items to be judged by the Imperial Household of, and others of considerable knowledge of the Saint. So we might with good judgment render it a legitimate relic. Furthermore if it is legitimate we shall build a monastery for it and mandate pilgrimage so that the people may be blessed by their gaze.

“O God, St. Thomas, upon you be peace,

Our ever-proud souls refuse to be seized,

The den of humanity is our sacred home,

And the throne of our suns will never go down.

 

The mountains of Oren are towers in height,

Which talk with the zenith of the highest skies,

A land that is splendid with brilliant sun,

Turning to a sky or almost a sky.

 

The flutter of our hopes and the beats of our hearts,

Depicted on the flag that united our land,

Did we not derive the black from every man's eye,

And from ink of martyr's blood wrote to the tall sky?

 

Spirits defiant and past so glorious,

And the martyrs' souls are our guardians,

St. Thomas protects us with his great shield,

So why won't we prosper and why wouldn't we build?”

[Samoblivion 532]

A passing gobbo mistakes it for a picked egg and swallows it whole.
