The Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City has lost an incomparable treasure: a bone fragment believed to be from the New Testament’s Mary Magdalene.
The fragment, smaller than a fingernail filing, has been in the magnificent Cathedral of the Madeleine in downtown Salt Lake City since 1918.
Woven into a red cloth imprinted with a fleur-de-lis pattern and glued onto cardboard, the relic was encased in a bronze and glass reliquary, which sat on an altar.
On July 10, cathedral staffers discovered the reliquary shattered on the ground and the relic missing. They contacted the police and offered a $1,000 reward for information about it.
Now, the Rev. Martin Diaz believes they know the culprit.
“We have a fairly good idea who took the relic,” Diaz said Monday, “and I don’t believe he even remembers he was here.”
