About
The holy relic is none other than the tunic, or robe, worn by the Virgin Mary at the birth of Christ.
Camisa was given to the town in the 9th Century By "King Charles the Bald".
It is credulous that this sacred tunic was saved from a fire during the twelfth Century by two priests who hid in the crypt within the precious relic.
Widely celebrated by the town of Chartres, that divine intervention from the blessed virgin had spared not only the lives of the priests, but also the Camisa itself. In joy, the people celebrated this miraculous event by declaring that a more awe-inspiring church should be built in honor of the Mother of Christ herself.
Following this fire, the Cathedral was rebuilt and became the immaculate Cathedral as it stands today.
