Relic of Saint Francis Xavier in Toronto
Catholics venerate the forearm of Saint Francis Xavier, a popular saint revered by Catholics worldwide, at St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 12, 2018. The 466 year old sacred Catholic relic is expected to draw around 100,000 people during the 15-city Canadian visit. The body of St. Francis Xavier, buried in Goa, India, and the relic of his arm, are incorrupt (they did not experience natural decay since his death in 1552). It is estimated Saint Francis Xavier baptized more than 100,000 people with this arm. His remains are venerated by thousands each year in both Goa and Rome.
