Christian Relics
Christian relics are physical objects that have a significant connection to Jesus Christ, saints, or martyrs. These items can include bones, clothing, or personal belongings, and are often venerated by believers. Relics are categorized into three classes: first-class relics are actual parts of a saint's body, second-class relics are items they owned or used, and third-class relics are objects that have been touched to a first-class relic.
The veneration of relics is an important aspect of Christianity, particularly in the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. Many churches and shrines house these relics, attracting pilgrims who seek spiritual benefits or healing. The practice reflects a deep respect for the lives of holy figures and their connection to the divine.
