PARIS (OSV News) — As cardinals gather in Rome ahead of the May 7 conclave
thousands of pilgrims are flocking to the Basilica of St
to venerate what’s believed to be the holy tunic of Jesus — the seamless robe described in the Gospels
particularly following the recent death of Pope Francis
Several cardinals now in Rome for the general congregations
were supposed to be venerating the tunic of Argenteuil
but instead the faithful pray for church unity and the next pope in front of the robe believed to be worn by the Lord
The modest piece of brown wool has been kept in Argenteuil since the early ninth century
The display opened April 18 and continues until May 11.
“We have no absolute proof of its origin
but it is not an insult to reason to come and bow before the tunic of Argenteuil,” Father Guy-Emmanuel Cariot
“There are many elements that point to its authenticity.” Among these elements
“They have the same rare AB blood type as the Shroud of Turin,” Father Cariot pointed out
holds the official title of the “Guardian of the Holy Tunic.”
he said the April 21 death of Pope Francis turned upside down the program that had been planned for the three exceptional weeks
including the secretary of state of the Holy See were to preside over the ceremonies of the exposition,” Bishop Bertrand told OSV News
“They had to cancel because of the (upcoming) conclave
except for Cardinal Louis Sako” — the Baghdad-based Chaldean Catholic patriarch — “who will come for an evening on May 2 to pray before the tunic for Christians in the Middle East,” he said.
“We prayed fervently for Pope Francis,” when he was sick
this entire period of the pope’s death and the election of his successor is taking place precisely during the three weeks of this exceptional display of Christ’s tunic
which is a symbol of the unity to which the church aspires,” he said

The disappointment over the lack of celebrating the display of the tunic in the presence of world’s top cardinals “is therefore turning into intense prayer for the church
and for the future pope,” the bishop said.What is believed to be the seamless tunic of Jesus is displayed April 26
referred to the work of French historian Jean-Christian Petitfils
who published results of his deep scientific and historical investigation into the tunic in 2024.
Petitfils said the robe was in the Middle East during the early centuries of Christianity
when the Byzantine empress Irene — saint of the Greek Orthodox Church — offered it to Charlemagne
who was the first emperor (800–814) of what was later called the Holy Roman Empire
Charlemagne entrusted the tunic to his daughter
who was abbess of the Abbey of Argenteuil.
the tunic was handed over to the parish of Argenteuil
whose priest cut it into several pieces in order to better hide them from the revolutionaries,” Father Cariot explained
large parts of the fragments were then sewn back
and the tunic could thus be displayed to the faithful (starting) from the 19th century.”
but its growing popularity in recent years has led to a more frequent schedule
A solemn display in 2016 attracted up to 220,000 visitors
“This year’s Jubilee Year display is also proving to be a great success,” Father Cariot said
Eight hundred volunteers have been called upon to welcome them
and the municipality is mobilizing 200 police officers every day to ensure the safety of the event.”
“The diversity of visitors is astonishing,” Father Cariot pointed out
“People come from very different backgrounds
Elected vice president of the French bishops’ conference on April 3
Bishop Bertrand is personally involved in the jubilee display
Bishop Bertrand told OSV News that thanks to the veneration of the tunic
“we may be deeply renewed in our faith in Christ
“We lay down our sufferings and trials before this bloodstained tunic
to unite them with those of the Lord who suffered so much himself
Unity of the church is being discussed by cardinals in Rome during the general congregations
“This tunic has been cut up throughout history
It alone tells us how much we must pray to restore unity
and we cannot wrap the body of Christ in a torn garment,” the bishop said

Armed with 4,000 eggs and a truckload of sugar and cream
French pastry chefs on Wednesday completed a 121.8m-long strawberry cake that they have claimed is the world’s longest ever made
Youssef El Gatou brought together 20 chefs to make the 1.2 tonne masterpiece that took a week to complete and was set out on tables in an ice rink in the Paris suburb town of Argenteuil for residents to inspect
The effort overtook a 100.48m-long strawberry cake made in the Italian town of San Mauro Torinese in 2019
El Gatou’s cake also used 350kg of strawberries
To claim the record in the Guinness World Records
the cake had to be at least 8cm wide and 8cm tall
The logistics were so difficult that the team “used blowtorches to heat the bowl” for the cream mix
Youssef El Gatou said that since a child he had wanted to set a record
and I also wanted to highlight farm produce
so French strawberries and products like milk
Residents of Argenteuil who went to see the calorie-packed record-breaker were given a piece to take away
the town of Argenteuil welcomed Prince Albert II for a day of commemoration
three-time Olympic rowing champion and grandfather of Prince Albert II and Princess Caroline of Hanover
Argenteuil was the chosen venue for the Paris 1924 Paris Olympic Games’ rowing events
Kelly won his third gold medal on the Argenteuil course
the town decided to pay tribute to this historic achievement by renaming one of its quays near the rowing club the “Quai John B
Prince Albert II attends reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral
A contemporary mural by artist Sckaro was also unveiled to honour the memory of the athlete
A photographic exhibition along the quayside retraces the highlights of John B
including his victories at the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 and Paris in 1924
The town also announced an exhibition on John B
to be held in the Town Hall’s gardens from 18 December 2024 to 18 January 2025
Princess Caroline was also expected to attend the commemoration with Prince Albert II, but had to cancel due to the death of her mother-in-law
It's a crazy bet that took place in the Île-de-France region. On Wednesday April 23, 2025, the town of Argenteuil, in the Val-d'Oise
welcomed the Guinness Book for an unusual challenge
the pastry chefs at Maison Héloïse broke the record for the world's longest strawberry cake
which succeeded in creating a 100.48-meter-long strawberry cake
This spring, Maison Héloïse, located at 14 avenue Gabriel-Péri in Argenteuil, went one better by creating a giant 121.88-meter strawberry cake! To meet this challenge, the pastry chefs at Maison Héloïse had to demonstrate unrivalled precision and perfect execution
Maison Héloïse was founded in 2016 by Youssef El Gatou
the establishment has already won several awards
the gourmet house came third in the latest competition for the best croissant in Île-de-France
The Argenteuil-based company can now boast of having created the world's longest strawberry cake
and of being listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
Guinness Book judges were on hand at the Argenteuil ice rink to validate the record for the world's longest strawberry cake. Several guests were also on hand, including Nicolas Bernardé
Meilleur Ouvrier de France and Meilleur Pâtissier du Monde
the public present for the occasion at the Argenteuil skating rink had the opportunity to taste part of the giant strawberry
The remainder will be sent to various organizations in the town (police forces
Congratulations to Maison Heloise and the town of Argenteuil
who now hold the record for the world's longest strawberry plant

November 07, 2024 Jesse Seventeen-year-olds just don’t find evidence of ancient civilizations while they’re out plowing their fathers’ fields anymore
Claude Monet was a real freak for the River Seine
He spent a lot of time in the Argenteuil region
There are probably enough Monet paintings of Argenteuil that the Google Earth car can skip that part of town entirely
One painting of his called La Seine a Argenteuil is worth somewhere around $17 million
So when millionaire jagoffs started selling a painting titled Bords de la Seine à Argenteuil
back and forth around the world in the 20th century
It wasn’t until art historian David Joel tried to get it authenticated on the TV show Fake or Fortune
that its authenticity really came into question
While many experts agreed it was a legit Monet — a snapshot of the image appeared in his obituary
after all — there was one prominent holdout
refused to authenticate it to his dying day
the Parisian institute he worked for has kept up his refusal
where he was told in so many words to quit asking
So while many experts have come out in support of its authenticity
this one place won’t include it in its official catalog
a 17-year-old kid stumbled upon a hidden chamber in a field he was plowing with his cow
an excavation effort ultimately unearthed 3,000 artifacts over the course of six years
Excavators started weaving a tale of an ancient civilization in the area
far older and more advanced than previously thought
The only problem was: This was a private excavation
doubt was cast over the improbable story told by the buried clues
it was dismissed as a hoax entirely — that is
when radiocarbon dating confirmed that many of the objects were absolutely from the Iron Age
While the collection is now thought to have been “enhanced” with some forgeries
the fact remains that this kid probably did stumble upon some crazy ancient evidence of human civilization
This intricate limestone sculpture of Tanit
a big-time player in the ancient Carthage deity scene
is thought to date back to the 4th century BC — by idiots
It was discovered by farmers in Spain in 1897
and by 1906 its authenticity was already being questioned
This particular statue differed from other ancient Iberian artworks in a few ways
Art historians posited that the landowner commissioned a prolific forger to carve and then plant this item
just in time to be discovered by a famous archaeologist who happened to be cruising through town
that archaeologist was so impressed with the work that he purchased it from the landowner and stuck it in the Louvre
and more artwork from the time period was unearthed
scholars noticed that the Lady of Elche was actually a perfect specimen of 4th century BC sculpture
it was the first known example of several stylistic and structural choices
which ultimately reinforced its authenticity
how could a forger have known to leave trace amounts of paint all over it when
nobody thought the Iberians painted these things
they figured out that it was used as an urn
and found traces of human ash and bone in a little compartment in the back of the statue’s head
This golden brooch is thought by some experts to be the oldest written example of the Latin language
The inscription sounds like Charlie Kelly trying to give a birthday present: “Manius made me for Numerius,” which can be excused
because they were still kind of in the brainstorming phase of the language
The brooch was “presented” by a prominent archaeologist in 1887
but its provenance is a little fuzzy: an art dealer bought it from a friend
one leading skeptic insisted that the Latin inscription
which in part read “mēd fefaked,” contained a sneaky pawprint of a forger: the word “faked.” In the end
linguists have insisted the lettering checks out
and a chemical analysis found micro-crystallization of the gold that could only have happened naturally over the course of hundreds of years
So this weird little golden bone is probably legit

Exceptional Easter celebrations in Argenteuil... From April 18 to May 11, 2025, the Basilique Saint-Denys will host the ostension of the Holy Tunic
Preserved since the 9th century in this Val-d'Oise church
this piece of cloth is exceptionally presented to the faithful for the first time since 2016
According to Christian tradition, this tunic was worn by Jesus on his way to the cross, before his crucifixion. In 800 AD, it was given as a gift byEmperor Charlemagne to his daughter Theodrade, then a nun in Argenteuil
place the garment's manufacture in the 6th or 7th centuries
These are original fragments sewn onto a woolen cheesecloth tunic
displayed on a mannequin in a glass reliquary
underlining the contrast between this simplicity and the exhibition space
As in 2016, some 400,000 people are expected to attend, including Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State
Twenty-one bishops and five cardinals will celebrate the various Masses scheduled over the period
some 200 police officers will be mobilized daily around the basilica
and a security perimeter will be set up for three weeks
This Easter ostension is part of a renewed interest in devotional objects
which would have passed for something very bizarre twenty years ago," observed Father Cariot at a press briefing
Note that the previous ostension in 1934 had already attracted a million devotees

The prevalence of painting-based protests has become a norm in the art world
Most often centred around environmental activist groups such as Just Stop Oil and those adjacent to the Extinction Rebellion movement
these are often harmless (and often ineffectual) calls to attention and support
Most recently a protestor has acted on the recurring target of Monet with his painting Poppies at Argenteuil
This past week at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, an activist associated with the French group Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) approached Poppies at Argenteuil
swiftly pasted a hellish red landscape over the lush floral landscape
then affixed themselves to the wall with an adhesive—a common tactic for such demonstrations
“This nightmarish image awaits us if no alternative is put in place,” they stated in their protest
They were arrested shortly after the incident
Riposte Alimentaire seeks to strike ecological and climate change anchored by the goal of global food security
They’ve been one of the many organizations staging protests such as this
The fine arts world has been one of the primary stages for these actions
perhaps because of the sheer volume of money that flows through these often accessible places of presentation or perhaps because there is a higher chance of standing before those who hold similar values
Riposte Alimentaire has certainly drawn attention once again with their demonstration on Poppies at Argenteuil
But the question always remains the same: has there been any changes stemming from the attention these groups garner
and perhaps the attention and awareness alone hold value

After taking part in the Crusades against the Albigensians
he used his inheritance to free Christian prisoners held by the Moors
He later founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians) beginning in 1218 devoted to ransoming Christians
John the Apostle was taken to Rome under the Emperor Domitian and plunged into a cauldron of boiling oil; by a striking miracle he came out safe and sound from this torture
This disposition to forgive did not die with St
but has continued to be one of the most characteristic virtues of the saint
Benedict as related in the Dialogues of St
that he was continuously and severely persecuted by a delinquent priest who lived in the neighborhood of the monastery
in order to protect the virtue and the vocations of his disciples
Benedict decided to abandon the site of his monastery and move to another location
He and his monks had hardly left their monastery when word was brought that the persecutor had died suddenly
Contrary to the expectation of the messenger who brought the news
Benedict broke out in loud lamentations that his enemy had died suddenly and had not had an opportunity to repent
The saints see so much more clearly than we the relative unimportance of the hardships and injustices we suffer in this world
and the importance before all else of the sinner's being converted and repenting of his sins
How long and how persistently we harbor grudges in our hearts against those who have offended us
How difficult we find it to forgive freely and from our hearts
Yet we proclaim ourselves to be Christians and to practice all the Christian virtues
Do we forget that our Lord told us that if we expect our prayers to be heard
and our sacrifices to be pleasing in the sight of God
and go first and make peace with our brother
Nor is the disposition to forgive our enemies peculiar only to the saints and martyrs of the ancient Church; nor should we expect it to be
and if His disciples were commanded to forgive their enemies in His day
Father Pro was executed in Mexico some years ago
he was asked by his executioner if he had anything he wished to do
or anything he wished to say before the sentence was executed
Father Pro said that there was; he wished to be given an opportunity to pray for his executioners and to give them his blessing before he died
During the persecutions in Spain during the late civil war
one of the religious who was to be put to death by the communists was led to his death with his hands bound
asked to be allowed to give his blessing to the members of the firing squad
It is said that the officer in charge of the guard untied his hands
and then swiftly struck off the hands of the priest with his sword
raised his right arm and traced the sign of the cross over the heads of his murderers
This is the true sign of the authentic martyr
the characteristic mark of the true saint of the Church
Who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the tree" (Epistle)
The redemption of man as accomplished by Christ might have been accomplished in other ways
but none of them would have been as perfect as the way Christ chose
God might have forgiven man outright without requiring any satisfaction for sin
This would have been a splendid manifestation of the infinite mercy of God
but it would have ignored His infinite justice
God might have refused redemption and forgiveness altogether
and this would have been in complete conformity with His justice
but it would not have satisfied His infinite mercy
Perfect redemption required that both God's mercy and justice be satisfied
Any act of satisfaction on his part would only have been of limited and finite value
An act of reparation offered by a divine person would have been adequate
since it would not have been offered by the offending party
The only possibility of a perfect redemption was for the divine person to become incarnate
could perform acts of infinite value; since he was a human being
He could act in the name of the human race
and offer an act of reparation which would be both adequate and authentic
But the martyrdom of the latter Apostle called for a scene worthy of the event
was not a sufficiently glorious land for such a combat
whither Peter had transferred his Chair and where he died on his cross
and where Paul had bowed down his venerable head beneath the sword
alone deserved the honor of seeing the beloved disciple march on to martyrdom
with that dignity and sweetness which are the characteristics of this veteran of the Apostolic College
In the year 95 John appeared before the tribunal of pagan Rome
the worship of a Jew who had been crucified under Pontius Pilate
He was considered a superstitious and rebellious old man
and it was time to rid Asia of his presence
sentenced to an ignominious and cruel death
A huge cauldron of boiling oil was prepared in front of the Latin Gate
The sentence ordered that the preacher of Christ be plunged into this bath
The hour had come for the second son of Salome to partake of his Master’s chalice
the boiling liquid lost all its heat; the Apostle felt no scalding
when they took him out again he felt all the vigor of his youthful years restored to him
