A suspended priest, he is shown in clerical robes in 1959 as he left a conference in Elysee Palace in Paris. Before his election, Youlou was a parish priest who was forbidden to say Mass because of his political activity. After riots in Brazzaville subsided, Sime Matsika, a labor leader, began to emerge as a strong man -- some sources said he was a dedicated leftist trained in Peking. A provisional government was being maintained by the Congolese Army, a native force commanded by Lt. Col. Rene Jean of the French Army. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-BR-8C-63-RB)

Reposing in a golden case, the relic is shown here being exposed for veneration by the late Jean Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, who died during the war. The crown consists at present of only the rush foundation, the relic having been dropped by a priest when first exposed to the people.

In this photograph gypsies are seen escorting statues of the two Marys, placed in a small boat, to the sea, where they are borne into the surf to cries of “Vivent les Saintes Maries.” On the previous day, a procession is staged in honor of St. Sara, gypsy Saint.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-4168 CRUSADE FOR PEACE [2] PARIS -- A kilted Scot is one of the three members of a British group shown here carrying an 86-pound cross during the international peace pilgrimage to Vezelay in central France. Pilgrims from 13 other nations also took part in the unique demonstration. Focal point of the pilgrimage was the ancient abbey in Vezelay where St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade 800 years ago. The pilgrim groups attracted large followings as they carried their crosses through towns and villages where thousands joined them in prayers for peace. American and Canadian crusaders did not reach France in time, but their crosses were borne by French volunteers. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-TFD-7-D-6-C)

The crosses lined up outside the church were carried by pilgrims in an 18-day march on foot through towns and villages where thousands joined them in prayer, many even accompanying the crusaders all the way on their long trek over sun-baked roads. American and Canadian crusaders did not reach France in time for the Crusade, but their crosses were borne by French volunteers.
