In Cremona, in the collegiate basilica of Sant'Agata, the " table of the angel" is venerated.It is located in the North because, it was said, a priest of Cremona origin, during the invasion of the Lombards, took advantage of the general hustle and bustle and took it with him. From that moment, the tablet became the object of great veneration, both for the people of Cremona, both for bishops and cardinals.Il 5 February each year, and the following Sunday, the celebrations in honor of the saint.The relic is kept inside an original shrine, a wooden table 112 cm high and 69 wide, painted on both sides by an anonymous painter at the end of the thirteenth century. On the first facade are depicted scenes of the life and martyrdom of Saint Agatha, on the other a Madonna with Child surmounted by a scene of Pentecost.The " table of the angel", protected by an elegant eighteenth-century gate, in many centuries has never been opened and, Like a shell, she keeps hiding her precious pearl. In 1575 Saint Charles Borromeo, who had come to Cremona with the precise intention of ascertaining the contents of the sealed reliquary, dared not open it. In front of so much wonder he knelt in deep veneration.Only in the mid-seventies, during the restoration work, was made an x-ray of the "table". He finally made sure that, inside, there is a foreign body, but no one still wanted to violate the mystery that hides that precious relic.
