The Blood of Christ

Easter is the most important event in the Christian calendar, and that was no different in the times of the Republic of Venice.

It should therefore be no surprise that several events took place during the week of Easter, and that all classes participated.

A couple of these events included a rather special relic, which is still in the treasury of the Basilica di San Marco.

It is a sample of the blood of Jesus.

Just to muddle the waters, there's a similar relic in the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari.

Both of them originate in Constantinople.
