Philippe Charlier examines relic of Saint Teresa of Lisieux

Philippe Charlier, a doctor, anthropologist, and paleopathologist, is examining a relic of Saint Teresa of Lisieux to investigate a potential link to her life. The relic, which is one of her radishes, is kept among other relics for veneration at Saint Catherine's Church in Honfleur.

Charlier is testing the hypothesis that this bone may still preserve a specific trace of her life. The bone has been held for over a century since the death of the young woman.
