Relic worship is the practice of honoring and venerating physical remains or personal effects of saints, martyrs, or other holy figures. These relics can include bones, clothing, or items associated with the individual. Many religious traditions, particularly within Christianity, view these objects as sacred and believe they can provide spiritual benefits to the faithful. In addition to Christianity, relic worship is also found in other religions, such as Buddhism, where relics of the Buddha or revered monks are venerated. The practice often involves rituals, pilgrimages, and the establishment of shrines, emphasizing the connection between the faithful and the divine through these tangible objects.
