The first image is of the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi. Once every 10 years, his body is paraded in the streets during a festival. People normally kiss the hand or the feet of the saint. Once a woman kissed the foot and bit off his big toe. Since then, the body has been entombed in a silver and crystal casket and this casket is now paraded in the streets of goa. BTW the toe was recovered!! and All Is Well!
