Excavations of St. Albans Cathedral, one of England’s most famous landmarks, revealed the remains of a child buried with rosary beads wrapped around the hand, a “mystery†to archaeologists, according to the BBC. Of 80 graves excavated on the site, this was the only one to contain artifacts of this kind.
Site director Ross Lane told the BBC that the circumstances suggest a Catholic burial, despite the fact that the burial ground is a majority Protestant one. But that’s about all that can be divined, so to speak, until further research is conducted.
