Wow nice! So I would like to DYK this but we need a good hook and the relics of the Biblical Magi seems good. However its not clear if

the relics are in Brugherio
some of Biblical Magi are here
they were here and we still have a copy of the relicquary
something else

Can some one explain? Victuallers (talk) 10:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1582-1613

The Church's most notable event during this time, however, was to be the Papal recognition of a portion of the relics of the three Magi, believed to have been transfered in Cologne by Federico Borromeo in 1613. In this same year, on 27 May,[14] these were transferred from saint Ambrogio's church, while under the supervision of the parish priest Francesco Bernardino Paleario.

It is believed that the relics of the Magi were transported by Federico Borromeo in Cologne and hence a part of the relics (three finger tips) came to St. Ambrose church in Brugherio. In 1613 these relics were transported from St. Ambrose church in Brugherio to St. Bartholomew church in Brugherio. Here they are kept to this day.

Thanks

The copy of the 17th century reliquary was made in 2013 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the relics shift from St. Ambrose to St. Bartholomew (which is the cathedral of the city).

I would not DYK this, because it is a matter of faith, not a fact. Ciao, Labaici (talk) 10:49, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I will avoid the faith issue. The fact issue is that they were moved and are still remembered in Brugherio. Thanks for your reply Victuallers (talk) 11:11, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See below - the wording says that "believers can ...." This avoids questions about the relics - I hope Victuallers (talk) 16:19, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
