The relics of one of England's most beloved saints will be on display in Northampton Cathedral during "The Becket Festival" running from 7 – 9 July.
The festival will be preceded by a Mass to celebrate the translation of the English martyr's relics, which will take place at 11 a.m. on the morning of Friday 6 July, notes the Catholic Diocese of Northampton.
A "translation" of relics refers to the formal movement of holy objects – most commonly those relics related to a saint – from one place to another, and is typically accompanied by ceremonies and events.
