St. Thomas's Martyrs Shrines

In the late Medieval period, St. Thomas of Canterbury — also known as Thomas Becket — was the most famous martyr of the Church. He was murdered by King Henry II of England’s knights to “rid him of that meddlesome priest.”  Because of this, St. Thomas of Canterbury church has several shrines to martyrs.
