After Thomas Becket was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, his body was initially buried in the cathedral itself. In 1173, his remains were translated to a more elaborate shrine, which became a major pilgrimage site. Over the centuries, the shrine was destroyed during the English Reformation in the 16th century, and his relics were scattered or lost. Today, a memorial marks the spot where his shrine once stood.
