<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 579869, member: 5833&quot;]In the cursory reading I have done about Mitrofan/Metrofan/Metrophanes, know there was something about his relics being discovered on 2 different occasions, although sounded more like they meant bones than an uncorrupted body.</p><p><br /></p><p>This sort of thing is still done.&nbsp; St. Frances (Mother) Cabrini appears to repose in a New York church.&nbsp; Her remains are supposed to be there &amp; they rather encourage the notion that you are looking at them when you look at this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2008/317/7328016_122660241174.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Think, as we saw with the other one, when the book is open, the point is the text that is shown.&nbsp; We don&#039;t know what it is in this case, whether a verse of scripture or more of M&#039;s words of wisdom, or something else altogether.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t seen any mention of his having been known in particular for his aphorisms.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Except we do have the other example in which his hands are busy managing the open book.&nbsp; This one is too blurry to make much of without some text to accompany it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
