Roundabout works postponed as hundreds flock to see relics at Galway Cathedral
Galway Bay fm newsroom – Works scheduled to take place on Bodkin roundabout in the city have been postponed this evening as hundreds flock to see St.
Anthony’s relics in Galway cathedral.
Traffic on the approach roads to the city centre has been heavy all afternoon with concentrated backlogs on the Headford Road.
The relics are on display as part of a national tour to mark the 750th anniversary of the discovery of Saint Anthony’s incorrupt tongue by St Bonaventure.
The first devotees began to arrive early this morning for a special mass which was held at 11.
The relics, which consist of a floating rib bone and layers of cheek skin, will be on display until 10 tonight.
