Note (return) — CHAP. IV.
Reading edition
In this basilic the B. Sacrament is preserved amid many lights in the Sepulchre in a side-chapel78, and several confraternities come in procession to venerate the relics, of which we shall speak in the next chapter. It is much to be regretted that the cross, which used on holy-Thursday and good-Friday to glow with 628 lights79, and to produce a splendid effect by the chiaroscuro which resulted from it in this vast and magnificent fabric, is no longer suspended before the Confession, in consequence of irreverent conduct on preceding occasions.
