PROFITABLE BONES!

Some sobering statistics from Maggi Dawn.

— 95,000 pilgrims have visited the relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux during their four-day stay at Westminster Cathedral. This brings to 286,650 the total number of pilgrims who have visited the relics

— At Westminster Cathedral alone, 50,000 roses - the saint's symbol - were sold and up to 10,000 candles. Roses sold for £10 for a small bunch, although as the final Mass progressed they were discounted to £5

— The Big Issue seller outside Westminster Cathedral during farewell Mass sold three copies at £1.50 each

There is also another interesting feature by Matthew Parris on these bones here!
