Maybe it's the greenish look to her face. Maybe it's just too ironic.
Aachen Cathedral had plans to exhibit the image and other relics as part of a goldsmithery exhibit this summer.

Aachen Cathedral had plans to exhibit the image and other relics as part of a goldsmithery exhibit this summer.

Workers at Aachen Cathedral were already restoring the reliquary well before the outbreak of the virus after the cathedral’s treasurer dug it out from storage more than a year ago in preparation for an exhibition on goldsmithery slated for the summer.

“I think what we are seeing now is a substantial elevation in Corona’s profile,” she added. “The most cynical reading is that [church representatives in Germany] are being opportunistic, but it’s important to remember that this is exactly how saints have always become attached to particular professions or groups. Local events provoke a focused attention on a particular saint which, leads to that saint’s association with a particular group of people.”
“The thing with the epidemic is probably connected with her worship in the small town of St. Corona near Kirchberg am Wechsel,” a cathedral spokeswoman, Daniela Lövenich, tells Artnet News. “Here they asked for steadfastness in faith and called upon [the Saint] against storms, bad harvests and livestock epidemics.”

Aachen was planning on getting the knack of a media campaign.
“My Corona!”
“My Corona!”
