Trèves (1 syl.)

.

The Holy Coat of Trèves. A relic preserved in the cathedral of Trèves. It is said to be the seamless coat of our Saviour, which the soldiers would not rend, and therefore cast lots for. (John xix. 23, 25.) The Empress Heleʹna, it is said, discovered this coat in the fourth century.
