THIRTY PILGRIM TRAINS
j CROWD S TO SEE HOLY COAT. Thousands of pilgrims arrived at Trier, recently, for the rare event of a public exhibition of the garment believed to be the seamless Holy Coat of Christ, for which the soldiers east lots at His Crueifixoon. The coat is the greatest treasure of Trier, the oldest German city. It is only exposed to the light once in a generation, so' that it may be preserved. Last cenIjuiry it was shown in 1810, 1844, and in 1891, when nearly 2,000,000 pilgrims vcnerated it. Since then it has not heen shown. It is by the Pope's special wish that it is shown in this Holy Year. An immense throng filled the cathedral when the Archbishop o'f Cologne celehrated High Mass, and thtre was a wave of emotion when the pilgrims first saw the Coat. More than 3 special pilgrims' trains arrived daily from all parts of Germany during the seven weeks when the Coat was shown.
