The
Exhumation of St. Cecilia
12th or 13th century
Fresco
Church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome
The inscription below the fresco says that St. Cecilia's incorrupt body
was interred here by "Josephus Marianus Parthenius." The
exhumation occurred in the 9th century, when Pope Paschal I had the
body moved from the Catacombs of St. Calixtus to Santa Cecilia in
Trastevere.
