Archives at the Vatican are currently being scoured after the recent discovery in a secondary school in north Dublin of what is believed to be the relic of a 2nd- or 3rd-century saint.
The discovery last week at St Vincent's Secondary School in Glasnevin has gripped the imaginations of all involved – from the students and teachers at the school, to their families at home. It has also gripped the imagination of Fr William Purcell, a local relic expert known as “the Bone Collector”, who is now in Rome attempting to trace and verify the relic.
