06 JANUARY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People reach for Buddhist amulets recently blessed by monks after a service for a relic that is a piece of the Buddha's hair. The relic has been on display in Bangkok for about 10 years. There was a ceremony in Sanam Luang in Bangkok Sunday to honor the relic. People prayed for it and received blessings from Buddhist monks and Brahmin priests who presided over the service. The hair is being moved to Ayutthaya, where it will be displayed in a Buddhist temple. The piece of hair has been on loan to Thai Buddhists from a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
