The Shrine of the Little Flower

The Shrine of the Little Flower This is the shrine to St. Therese of the Child Jesus (1873-1879). Also known as Therese of Lisieux and The Little Flower, St. Therese was canonised by Pope Pius XI in 1925.

There are scenes from the life of St. Therese in the six panels at either side of the statue. They show the saint at prayer; at a Eucharistic procession; receiving Holy Communion; petitioning the Pope to be allowed enter the Carmelites, though only 15 years; on her sick bed and finally her death.

This shrine is to the right after entering the Cathedral.
