Saints' Relics
Saints' relics are physical remains or personal items of saints, venerated in various religious traditions, particularly in Christianity. These relics can include bones, clothing, or objects that belonged to the saint. They are often housed in shrines or altars and are believed to possess spiritual significance, offering blessings or miracles to the faithful.
The veneration of relics dates back to the early church, where they served as a tangible connection to the saint and their divine qualities. Pilgrimages to sites containing relics, such as those of Saint Peter or Saint Francis of Assisi, are common, as believers seek to honor the saints and deepen their faith.
