Crypt, Vezelay Abbey Church, Burgundy, France

Crypt of Vezelay Abbey church, Vezelay, Yonne, Burgundy, France. Vezelay Abbey was a Benedictine and Cluniac monastery founded in the 9th century by St Badilo, who was said to have brought back relics of Mary Magdalene from the Holy Land. The Abbey Church or Basilica of St Mary Magdalene is a 12th century Burgundian Romanesque church. The crypt is Carolingian and has reliquaries holding a few small relics of St Mary Magdalene. The original relics were burned by French Calvinists during the 16th century Wars of Religion, but in 1876 the Archbishop of Sens gifted some to Vezelay to be housed in the crypt.
