Religious Relics in Lima

By F. L. Perry

BROTHER F. L. PERRY writes from Lima, Peru: “There are many large cathedrals here, and one sees priests at almost every turn. The other day I found before a cathedral a large old wooden cross about eighteen feet high. There were nailed to this cross the different articles used in the trial and crucifixion of Christ—four spikes, the thorny crown, the scepter, the cock that crew, Pilate’s wash-basin, the sponge, and other articles. The people regard these things with reverence as they do images of the saints, etc.”
