Ireland bids farewell to St. Terese relics

Ireland bid bon voyage to the relics of St Therese of Lisieux today at the end of an 11-week tour which organisers claim drew three million onlookers.

The casket containing the remains of the 19th century saint travelled the length and breadth of the island - the 23rd leg so far in what is billed as St Therese’s world tour.
