In this episode of Noll’s Nephew, we delve into why Catholics venerate the relics of the saints and how this practice dates back to Scripture and the early Church. From Elisha’s bones to the relics of St. Polycarp, the faithful have honored the bodies of the holy as signs of God’s power and the promise of resurrection. Drawing from the Catechism and the Church Fathers, we’ll see how relics express the heart of Catholic faith: that grace transforms matter, holiness endures beyond death, and the saints are still with us.
