The article analyzes the solemn procession organized by the Jesuits for the translation
of a collection of relics received from Rome in Mexico City on November 1, 1578. It
describes the multiple local, transregional, and global meanings of the relics, as a
transfer of the Ecclesia Romana to Mexico City, as part of a global relic network, and as
forms of sublimation and sacralization of local experiences of pain and misery.
