View source for Relics of the Lord Jesus Christ

A [[Relic]] is an object or body part from or associated with a Saint. Christ rose from the dead with his body, so he left no body remnants . However, he did leave remnants of his life and presence from during the Passion.

These include either whole or in part:

* The pillar to which he was bound while being scourged
* The crown of thorns thrust upon his head
* The stairwell he climbed with Pilate to be shown to the crowd after the scourging
* The veil with which Veronica wiped his face along the ''Via Dolorosa''
* The cross upon which he was crucified
* The nails which fastened his hands and feet to the cross
* The shroud in which he was buried
