[Magdalen] Beautiful Epiphany chant

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

The triple casket Is really impressive. The guide showing us the place was
telling us that the front plate can be removed on special days so that the
faithful can see the relics inside. That's quite a deal. Show the relics
without moving them an inch.
