The relics of a 19th century French saint will be on show across the north during September.
School pupils, parishioners and members of the public are being encouraged to see the relics of St Therese of Lisieux, a 19th century saint in Inverness and Oban as part of a Scotland-wide tour.
The relics, which are contained in a casket, will be in Inverness at St Mary’s Church from Wednesday, September 11, and will leave after a recitation of the Angelus at noon the following day.
They will then travel to Oban’s St Columba’s Cathedral for a number of events between Thursday, September 12, and Saturday, September 14.
Described by Pope Pius X as the most important saint of the modern era, St Thérèse of Lisieux, who died in 1897, was sanctified for her belief that everyone was called to holiness through love.
She died at 24 and was canonised by Pope Pius XI on May 17, 1925. Had she lived, she would have been only 52 years old when she was declared a saint.
