Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildare & Leighlin stands before a revered relic of St. Brigid as it returns home to Kildare, Ireland, Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024. Pilgrims and locals welcomed the relic back to Brigid's hometown, about a millennium after her body had been moved from Kildare to a secret grave for safety from Viking attacks. The ceremony is part of the 1,500th anniversary commemoration of the death of the woman some call "the matron saint of Ireland." (AP Photo/Peter Morrison)
