I watched a wonderful programme on BBC 4 on the history of relics in Catholic Christianity and was constantly amazed!! I learnt so much and was so inspired by it - TV at its best and thoroughly recommended. There is a history of Jesus' Crown of Thorns, which are venerated in Notre Dame, Paris every 1st Friday of the month and every Friday in Lent - another 'to do' on my growing list of Catholic pilgrimages http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012248j/Treasures_of_Heaven/
Thanks Bobby, I have no TV and might have missed this. I hope you and yours are well... I will pray for the young girl in hospital this morning, a great day for asking favours of the Immaculate.
