Helpful Score: 2


Father Felix Fabri is a 15th-century monk on a pilgrimage to Alexandria, Egypt, to visit his "wife," Saint Katherine. Katherine is long dead and her body parts are in reliquaries in several countries. Father Felix is traveling to Sinai, where she was martyred. But along the way he finds that all her parts have been stolen.
This is a good read for those interested in the Middle Ages.
