York Minster will be host to the Relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
Thérèse of Lisieux (1873 to 1897) is one of the major saints of the Roman Catholic Church, and many Christians of other traditions and denominations are influenced by her writings and her life.
Dying aged just 24, she is one of only three women recognised as ‘Doctors of the Church’.
The Relics, contained in a decorated casket, are in England and Wales from the 16th September to the 16th October 2009 at the invitation of the Roman Catholic Bishops of England and Wales.
York Minster, a Cathedral of the Church of England, is the only non-Roman Catholic venue in the programme of visits.
