Relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux are stopping in the UK during their world tour. The first of her relics' stops, which include bones, will be the Victorian Chapel of London's Wormwood Scrubs prison. St Thérèse, who died in 1897 from tuberculosis at the age of 24, is known as the Little Flower of Jesus. She is known for her affinity with sinners and "those on the edge". She is patron saint of florists, illness, missions, Russia as well as aviators. Some of her relics will travel into space in 2011 with the US astronaut Ronald Garan.
