20 hours agoChurch coin hoard goes on display at diocesan museum
A hoard of 1,000 silver coins from the late 16th and early 17th centuries will be displayed at the Warmia Archdiocese Museum in Olsztyn.
For the first time in nearly eight centuries, the general public was able to see the remains of one of the Catholic Church's best-known saints. The patron saint of Italy's remains have been resting in a stone sarcophagus for centuries. On Saturday, the coffin was ceremoniously transferred from the crypt to the lower church of the Basilica of St Francis of Assisi. The display will last one month and end on March 22.
