More than 250 relics of Catholic saints are being given away in Canada
More than 250 relics of Catholic saints are being given away in Canada:
Over the past ten years, though, Debra Majer of the Catholic Diocese of
London, Ontario has had a somewhat unusual job – finding homes for the
more than 250 remains of saints that have been warehoused in her
basement office.
Each relic is contained in the theca, a small metal vessel, and can be
seen through a window. The vessels are sealed with wax which matches the
seal of a cardinal on an accompanying documents. If a red thread that
crosses the back of the relic is broken, that means that relic’s
authenticity has been compromised.
