Lodève - St. Fulchran

Lodève - St. Fulchran
I had visited Lodève before and have uploaded photos of St. Fulchran last year.

This time, I was on a mission! About a year ago, widely read Baubo/Sonja had mentioned (protestant!) german satirist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799). In one of the "Sudelbuecher" Lichtenberg claims "Monks in Lodève sainted a mouse, after it had eaten from a Host."

So I tried to find somebody in Lodève, who knew about this. I asked three Lodevians, but even
the guide inside St. Fulchran had never ever heard of Mr. Lichtenberg. Then I took photos of the
reliquaries. Some were small, but most reliquaries are small. There was not a single trace of Lichtenberg´s mouse....

Well, for me this was a "Mission Impossible".

Here is the quote (in German), see [169].

Here is what Wikipedia knows about Lichtenberg:
