Relic belonging to Saint Thomas Becket may have been found in Cambridge University Library
A Librarian at Corpus Christi College believes he’s found a relic belonging to English Saint Thomas Becket. The martyred archbishop’s personal book of psalms, which, it’s said, he was holding when he was murdered became a rare example of a book being used as a relic.
