Church built due to lupus: Basilica Saint Martin (Basilique Saint-Martin Liège), part 3
The Basilica of Saint Martin (La Basilique Saint-Martin Liège) in Liège, Belgium (Luik in Dutch) was originally built by the Bishop of Liège, Éracle (aka Eraclus, Heraclius, and Eraclius) in 965 AD to thank Saint Martin for curing him of the disease called lupus in 959 AD. NOTE: This is the very first time that lupus is used as the name of a disease in the historical record.
In this video (part 3 of 3 videos), Dr. Donald Thomas, gives a tour of the inside of the Basilica of Saint Martin where we will first see a statue of Saint Juliana of Liège.
Saint Juliana of Liège is credited with talking the bishops into having a special feast every year to celebrate the body of Christ (Corpus Christi) as is used in communion (or Eucharist). Next to her statue is a painting showing her telling the Priest John of Lausanne, a canon of the Church of Saint-Martin of Liege, about a vision she repeatedly received from God where he asked her to beg that there be a feast day to celebrate the Corpus Christi for the Eucharist. The very first Feast of Corpus Christi (Fête Corpus Christi) was held here in the cathedral in 1246 under Priest John. Priest John recounted her vision to Jacques Pantaleon of Troyes, Archdeacon of Liège, who later became Pope Urban IV. Pope Urban IV instituted in 1264 that the Feast of Corpus Christi be celebrated yearly, the Thursday after Pentecost.
There is a statue of Saint Agatha of Sicily in the Basilica close to the statue of Saint Juliana. She is depicted without breasts. The legend goes that when she was a teenager, she made a vow of virginity and refused to be married off to a Roman noble. She was tortured, and her breasts were cut off before she was killed. She is now the patron saint of breast cancer.
It appears that this Basilica, originally named because the bishop was cured of lupus, is truly dedicated to problems of women. 90% of patients who suffer from lupus are women. Saint Agnes' relics are those of the patron saint of chastity and young girls, Saint Juliana (who was an important part of this church in Liege in the 13th Century) was powerful in the history of the Catholic Church in that the Feast of Corpus Christi occurs yearly to this day due to her efforts; and finally, the statue of Saint Agatha is the patron saint of breast cancer to intercede for those women who have breast cancer.
If you have lupus, I hope you are able to travel to Liege, Belgium and visit the Basilica of Saint-Martin ... built because the Bishop of Liege was cured of lupus by Saint-Martin in 959 AD.
The Bishop of Liège, Éracle, wrote in an affidavit that while traveling in Italy in 959 AD to visit Pope John XII (who named him the new Bishop of Liège), he developed a severe disease, causing body pain and open sores. His doctors told him he had a disease called lupus because the sores looked like the bites of a wolf (wolf in Latin is lupus). They prescribed that two freshly killed chickens be placed on the Bishop’s open sores twice daily. Of course, this did not help, and he felt he was dying. He traveled to the Shrine of Saint Martin of Tours in Tours, France and he lay in front of Saint Martin’s tomb and prayed to be healed. On the 7th night, Saint Martin and Saint Brice (who was buried close by) came to him and healed him of his lupus. When the clergy of the church saw him in the morning, he looked perfectly healthy except for a small reddish scar where one of the sores previously was. Bishop Éracle was then so happy, he traveled back to Liège, determined to build a collegiate church as thanks to Saint Martin for healing him.
Even though Éracle poured his own money into building the church as a “thank you” for being healed of lupus, he originally planned to dedicate it to the Virgin Mary and Saint-Lambert. Saint-Lambert was a previous bishop of Maastricht (the region of Belgium that contains Liège). Bishop Eraclus died in 971 and was buried in this new church that he was building. His successor, Prince-Bishop Notker, decided to actually name the new church after Saint Martin (instead of after Saint-Lambert) due to the miracle healing of Bishop Éracle.
The current Basilica of Saint Martin that we are visiting in Liège was built upon the remains of the old church beginning in 1410 with the building of the square tower then the Gothic choir and then the nave beginning in 1506.
The original collegiate church of Saint Martin was burned down on the night of August 3, 1312 during what is now called the Måle Saint-Martin.
The Basilique Saint-Martin is located on the Publémont at Mont Saint-Martin 66, 4000, Liège, Belgium. It was initially built by Bishop Eracle as one of the eventual 7 Collegiate Churches of Liège. On May 9, 1886, the current structure was raised to the rank of Minor Basilica by Pope Leo XIII due to the importance of the cathedral being a place of pilgrimage for the Feast of Corpus Christi.

NOTE: This is the very first time that lupus is used as the name of a disease in the historical record.
In this video (part 2 of 3 videos), Dr. Donald Thomas, gives a tour of the inside of the Basilica of Saint Martin where we will see large scenes from the life of Saint Martin, and old wooden chairs where the monks would sit (they vanished after persecution during the French Revolution; now the chairs are used by the choir). Next to the choir in the nave of the church is a black marble statue sarcophagus of the Bishop Éracle. This is supposed to be a reproduction of his actual mausoleum. Supposedly, he is buried in the Basilica's crypt, but I was unable to visit the crypt and confirm this. Inside the crypt is supposed to be a larger black Theux marble statue of Bishop Éracle
Some relics of Saint Agnetis (Saint Agnes) are also found between the sarcophagus of Bishop Éracle and the altar. She is the patron saint of chastity, young girls, and virginity. She took a vow of virginity, claiming she would only be married to Jesus. She was martyred at only 12 or 13 years old.

The people of Liège were fighting against the nobility of the town, and while the nobility was hiding and walled up inside the church (thinking that they were safe), the towns' citizens burned the church along with the dozens of nobility who were hiding inside. This event is now known as the Måle Saint-Martin.

The race traverses, and finishes, at the summit of the Mur de Huy (English: Wall of Huy), a climb of about 1 kilometer with an average gradient of 10%, with sections of 20%. Huy has also been used in the Tour de France four times: 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2015.

A new fortress was built by the Dutch in 1818 at the same strategic location above the town. The 19th century was a period of relative prosperity based on the paper and other industries.
