WHAT IS A RELIC?

A relic is a fragment of the body or physical possession of a canonized saint that can help us grow closer to God. Relics are divided into three classifications:


-A FIRST CLASS RELIC is a body part of a saint, such as bone, blood, or flesh.


-SECOND CLASS RELIC are possessions that a saint owned.


-THIRD CLASS RELIC: are objects that have been touched to a first or second class relic or the saint has touched him or herself. the creation of the relic is an act of faith, shown in part by the fact that the intention to create a relic is considered necessary for the creation of third class relics
