The cult of the relics of saints not only played a major role in the Christianisation of Europe, but also significantly shaped the evolution of religious communities throughout the Middle Ages. The composition or compilation of office cycles for feasts of prominent saints such as Ursula and the eleven thousand virgins particularly illustrate how the cult evolved when transmitted from one place to another.
