Holy Headdress, Religious relic in Cahors Cathedral, France
The Holy Headdress consists of a linen cloth measuring several meters in length, kept within a protective display case in the cathedral.
The textile arrived at Cahors Cathedral during medieval times and received official monument status recognition from French authorities in January 1991.
Christian pilgrims from different regions travel to Cahors Cathedral throughout the year to observe this cloth believed to have covered Jesus.
The Holy Headdress remains accessible to visitors during regular cathedral opening hours, with special viewing arrangements during religious celebrations.
In April 2019, after an 80-year pause, the Holy Headdress returned to the streets of Cahors in a procession of 2,000 participants.
