"An ornate container that usually contained a relic of St Brigid was
stolen from St Brigid's Church, Killester, north of Dublin, where it was
screwed onto the altar.
And in October last year a relic believed to be from the
cross on which Jesus was crucified, was stolen from Holycross Abbey,
near Thurles."
I wonder if the thief is a private collector, or someone acting for another institution or diocese, hoping to lure pilgrims and boost tourism. I wonder if it even was really the heart of St. Laurence O'Toole.
