Faith and mystery, interwoven

A rare religious tapestry, recently discovered tucked in a corner in a local convent, purports to contain relics from 365 saints and some from Jesus Christ himself
It traveled here from Rome, and then disappeared from view for nearly 100 years.
Now, a rare tapestry that has been found in Buffalo has become both a mystery and a symbol of enduring faith.
The artifact, which today hangs in the sacristy of St. Joseph’s Cathedral, contains the relics of saints of the old Roman Catholic calendar: 365 of them.
But the reliquary’s wonders do not stop there.
