Tangible Witnesses to the History of Salvation

Christianity is rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation: God entered human history and became flesh in Jesus Christ. The Catholic tradition therefore recognizes that physical places and objects can preserve a meaningful connection with the people and events through which God has acted in history. Relics are not venerated for their material value alone, but because they direct our attention toward Christ and toward the holy men and women whose lives became witnesses to Him. Relics of the Passion of Christ Some pilgrimages are centered on relics traditionally associated with the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus. These journeys offer opportunities for contemplation, prayer, and a deeper encounter with the mystery of our Redemption. Relics of the Apostles, Saints and Martyrs The relics of the Apostles and saints connect pilgrims with the men and women who carried the Gospel across generations. Visiting the churches, shrines, tombs, and sanctuaries where they are venerated allows us to discover their lives and reflect upon the courage, sacrifice, and faithfulness of Christian witnesses throughout history. Faith, History and Sacred Tradition Our relic-centered pilgrimages approach each destination with both reverence and historical care. Alongside opportunities for prayer and worship, pilgrims can learn about the traditions, documentary history, artistic settings, and centuries of devotion associated with each relic.
