An exposition of sacred relics – including a fragment of the Veil of Our Lady and some of the largest remaining pieces of the Wood of the True Cross – will be held at three Diocese of Allentown parishes in early November.

At 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 11, it will be at Incarnation of Our Lord Parish, Bethlehem.

Other relics will include those of St. Joseph, St. John the Baptist, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska.
