Pope Stephen is said to have ordered all the inhabitants of Paris to meet Pippin and Karlomann with flowers and branches of palm, when they brought back the supposed relics of SS. Benedict and Scholastica: and they received them in that fashion, crying out, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.5 With which we may compare the account which St. Gregory of Tours gives of the dedication of the oratory, wherein the relics of SS.
