✨ Did you know there are different classes of relics in the Catholic Church? A first class relic comes from the body of a saint, like bones or even the True Cross of Christ. A second class relic is something a saint used or wore, like clothing or personal items. These holy objects connect us to the saints and remind us of the holiness we are all called to live. 🙏 #CatholicFaith #BenedictineLife #Vocations #CatholicTok #CatholicChurch | Marmion Abbey

Relics, Saints and Celtic Tops Here is an extract of our short explanatory talk on relics and saints to the Pope Francis Faith Award Pupils of St. Mary's Cleland & St. Aidan's Wishaw. They were very engaged and knew alot about their faith! Relics are often a misunderstood aspect of our faith so we hope these thoughts are helpful in some way. | Sancta Familia

The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is blessed to have many first-class relics of the saints for pilgrims to venerate.
