Page "Columbanus" Paragraph 34

His body has been preserved in the abbey church at Bobbio, and many miracles are said to have been wrought there through his intercession.

In 1482 the relics were placed in a new shrine and laid beneath the altar of the crypt.

The sacristy at Bobbio possesses a portion of the skull of the saint, his knife, wooden cup, bell, and an ancient water vessel, formerly containing sacred relics and said to have been given to him by St. Gregory.

According to certain authorities, twelve teeth of the saint were taken from the tomb in the fifteenth century and kept in the treasury, but these have now disappeared ( Stokes, Apennines, p. 183 ).
