The history of Christian relics dates back to the early Christian Church, where the remains of martyrs and saints were honored and venerated. Relics were believed to carry spiritual power and were used in religious rituals and ceremonies. The veneration of relics is based on the belief in the resurrection of the body and the communion of saints. References to relics can be found in the Bible, such as in Acts 19:11-12 where handkerchiefs and aprons touched by the Apostle Paul were believed to have healing powers.
