Photographs of the new reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux and of her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin
With the kind permission of the Magnificat Foundation and of the sculptor, Fleur Nabert, I have the honor of displaying the first photograph of the new reliquary containing relics of Saint Therese of Lisieux and of her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin.
Three separate containers hold relics of Louis Martin, Saint Therese, and Zelie Martin. Therese's relics are marked by a rose, those of her parents by lilies. For a full explanation of the symbolism of this reliquary, please see the Web site of the sculptor, Fleur Nabert.
We are most blessed to have the reliquary housed permanently in the United States. May its presence flood us with prayer, grace, and healing.
