St Albans Cathedral rosary bead remains 'mystery'

    5 hours ago

 

Archaeologists have described the discovery of a child's body with what are thought to be rosary beads wrapped round their hand as "a mystery".

The remains were unearthed during excavation work at St Albans Cathedral.

Experts said rosary beads would suggest a Catholic burial in what appeared to be a Church of England cemetery.

Episcopalians use prayer beads too.  It's not real common, but they do.
