Crypt
Her skeleton is vested in the habit of her Oblate Sisters. A breviary lies open in her hands, at Psalm 72, because legend has it that she was saying the Office of Our Lady one day, but as her husband called for her four times she never managed to complete this psalm. When she finally got back to her prayers, she found the verse miraculously inscribed in letters of gold.
