It is interesting that in 2019 a particularly venerated relic, the right forearm of Saint Francis Xavier, will set out from Rome on a grand tour of Canada. Servants of the Church explain that the arm, of course, will not fly in the hold or the hand luggage, but will occupy a seat of its own on the aeroplane, next to its escorts. The organisers of the journey have clarified that the hand of Saint Francis is not merely a relic but, in a manner of speaking, a person, though not a human being. We shall see what the Canadian airlines have to say to that.
