Relic of Saint Thomas More could be exhumed from Anglican church to be venerated by Catholics

More’s head, once placed on a pike above London Bridge as a warning to traitors, was rescued by his daughter, Margaret Roper. After her death, both she and the relic were interred in the Roper family vault beneath St Dunstan’s — a space that has been opened several times in the past two centuries, most recently in 1997, confirming the presence of the skull in a niche.

Reopening of the Vatican Shopping Center: the “Annona”

The store was closed to undergo renovations, which included a full upgrade of the retail space, now successfully completed. The store will reopen under the name “TIGRE-ANNONA,” maintaining its mission of serving the employees of the Governorate and the Holy See by offering convenient shopping within Vatican City.
