ST. THERESE OF LISIEUX PILGRIMAGE OF GRACE (Relics tour of Ireland 2001) - commemorative wall plate with original presentation box
This wall plate was commissioned by the Carmelite Sisters of Tallow to commemorate the 2001 Pilgrimage of Grace. The plate is made of bone china and features an image of St. Therese, as well as having its original presentation box.
The Pilgramage of Grace was a tour of the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux around Ireland, arriving on Easter Sunday 15th April 2001 and departing from Ireland on the 2nd July 2001. The relics on tour was a reliquary casket containing some of the bones of St. Therese. St. Therese is probably the most venerated saint amongst Catholics throughout the world and the 2001 tour around Ireland was exceedingly popular.
Born as Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin (1873-1897), at the age of 15 in 1888 she joined the Carmelite Sisters near Lisieux in Normandy, France. Aged only 24, Therese died of tuberculosis in 1897. During her years with the Carmelites, Therese had written her spiritual memories and after her death the manuscript was edited and published as l'Histoire d'une Âme (the Story of a Soul). It was through this publication that Therese became more widely known and her fame spread rapidly as more editions of the book were published.
Therese was beatified on the 29th April 1923 by pope Pius XI and who later canonised her on the 17th May 1925. St. Therese's main shrine is in the Basilica of St. Therese at Lisieux, France.
