In Christianity, relics are sacred items believed to carry the physical remains or possessions of saints — from bones and skulls to preserved body parts and holy shrouds. But just because these relics are holy… doesn’t mean they aren’t disturbing.
In this video, let's dive into the world of Christian relics, holy artefacts, and saints’ remains — exploring how they’re classified, why they’re venerated, and what secrets they might be hiding. From the incorruptible jaw of St. Anthony, to the skull of Mary Magdalene, to the infamous Shroud of Turin. Whether you're into church history, curious about Catholic relics, or just drawn to the creepy side of Christianity, this is your beginner’s guide to six of the most intriguing and unsettling relics in Christian history.
Glad so many of you enjoyed my Easter video. Thank you for 884K subscribers!
