Veneration of relics

Veneration of relics involves showing deep respect and honor to physical remains or objects associated with saints or holy figures, such as bones, clothing, or personal items. It is a way for the faithful to connect with the holiness and spiritual presence of these individuals, inspiring faith and devotion. This practice is rooted in the belief that relics serve as tangible links to the divine and can facilitate spiritual blessings or miracles. While not worship, veneration emphasizes reverence and remembrance, fostering a sense of continuity with sacred history and the virtues of the saint.
