Slideshow: Relics of Christ

THE HOLY TUNIC: Shown to the public every 50 years, the tunic is conserved in the Basilica of Saint Denis of Argenteuil, in France. This is considered the vestment that Jesus Christ wore on the way to Calvary.

These artifacts are said to be the relics of Christ (SLIDESHOW):

Relics of Christ

On this page:

is a slideshow of the Relics of Christ.

From the most intriguing to the least well-known, there are numerous relics supposedly related to Jesus Christ. Some have been declared venerable by the Vatican, without the Holy See ever pronouncing itself about their veracity. All are true testimonies of faith and Christian fervor.

The Relics of the Passion collection includes:

1) A piece of the True Cross, which was discovered by St. Helena
2) A piece of the Holy Table (Mensae Coenae D.N.J.C.), from the room where the Last Supper took place
3) A piece of the Column of Flagellation
4) A piece of The Crown of Thorns

7) A picture of (the effigy of) the Veil of Veronica touched to the original with a Vatican seal attesting to the fact.
8) A piece of the exterior wrapping for the Shroud of Turin (Sindonis D.N.J.C.)

The documents for these relics have been reviewed and authenticated prior to the commencement of the first tour in 2007.  Since then, the Relics of the Passion have been venerated in more than 12 archdioceses and 9 dioceses throughout the world.  While this collection was in the Philippines, more than a million people came to see the rare relics. Tours for these relics are generally limited by the travel availability of the members of the Apostolate and are traditionally presented to the public only on a limited basis during the Lenten season.  However, because of the Holy Father’s declaration of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, the Apostolate for Holy Relics is pleased to be presenting this extraordinary collection with a customized program at area churches as part of a nationwide tour promoting God’s Mercy.

AHR is an organization founded in Los Angeles in 2006. Additional information regarding the Apostolate for Holy Relics can be found at relictour.com or by contacting denise@relictour.org.

Exhibitions

Over the past 7 years, thousands of people from all walks of life have come to visit our Holy Face Exhibition. Located in various cities (at different times) across all of North America, the exhibition gives both believers and non-believers an opportunity to see first-hand for themselves, the authenticity and sheer grandeur of the Holy Shroud. It also provides visitors with a deeper understanding and awareness of all the terrible pain and suffering that our Lord endured for all of us.

Programs they offer:

The Holy Face Association offers several programs to help in the conversion of souls for their salvation. Read about the various programs below and feel free to contact us for more information, should you have any questions. These programs are currently available in the Western hemisphere only (North and South America).
 
Holy Face Church Program - (Lord, that we may see Thy Face)
If the Pastor wishes to enshrine the illuminated (or non-illuminated) framed Holy Face picture permanently in the church, the Association will donate this picture, plus Holy Face devotional material, as well as a percentage of large Holy Face pictures and novenas for the parishoners.  Also, the Association will help to start up (preferably on Tuesdays) a Holy Face Hour of reparation. (available in Western Hemisphere only).

Holy Face Home Program - (Our Lord Comes To Visit His Children)

A group should be formed (minimum 2 people, 3 preferred) and they should choose a name by which the group will be known (preferably that of a saint or an angel).  This designated group will then be responsible for taking the illuminated, framed Holy Face picture to different private homes, including retirement homes, and leave the picture at every location for 9 consecutive days.  The group will recite the first day Novena Prayer with the residents of the home and return on the ninth day to again recite the ninth day Novena Prayer, as well as the Act of Consecration.  It is suggested that the Rosary also be said each day in thanksgiving and reparation.  After the consecration has been made (and before the membership form is filled out), a Holy Face picture (framed by the group) should be enshrined in the consecrated home.  The illuminated, framed Holy Face picture is then brought to another home. (available in Western Hemisphere only). 

Holy Face Hospital Program - (Our Lord Consoles His Children)

You cannot look at the Most Holy Face of Jesus and fail to see His terrible suffering.  The dear souls in the hospitals have the opportunity of suffering with Jesus; united with Jesus, they can offer all to our Heavenly Father to make reparation and help save many souls.  Prayer leaflets and medals are given to hospital patients (all have been blessed); being sick, most will find it difficult to say prayers, but we ask that they gaze upon the Holy Face of Jesus illustrated on the promise card.  In doing so, they actually console Jesus, and one will always receive more than he or she can give, for God will always reward a cheerful giver.

Holy Face Missionary Program - (Go out to the whole world)

The Association, depending on who requests it, will donate Holy Face devotional materials and medals, plus Holy Face pictures in order to help all souls find, love and console Jesus.  The churches are supplied with a large 16 x 20 inch Holy Face picture (not framed) and other material for those who wish to start a Holy Face Holy Hour of reparation.

Holy Face Prison Program - (I was in prison and you visited me)

When a prisoner writes the Association, they will receive an envelope containing Holy Face devotional literature and a Holy Face Medal (blessed).  By separate post, the inmate will receive a Sacred and Immaculate Heart picture, plus a booklet containing all necessary prayers.  Those who participate in this program are supplied (if they so wish) with rosaries, scapulars and different spiritual books to help them on the road of salvation.

Holy Face School Program - (That they may learn)

When a Principal of a school and/or a teacher writes to the Association, it will do its utmost to cooperate in helping the children to know and love the Most Holy Face of Jesus, through the donation of Holy Face devotional material and medals to interested classmates.  Also, if they wish, a large, unframed Holy Face picture will be sent, upon request, to be enshrined in the school.

National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe - California

Who Is The Man Of The Shroud? Permanent Exhibit

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, a permanent exhibit titled Who is the Man of the Shroud? opened at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Sacramento, California. Founded by the Legionaries of Christ, this is the third permanent Shroud exhibit the order has established. The first, the Pontifical Institute Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center, was opened in Jerusalem in 2006 (which I have reported on previously) and the second at the University of Rome. Plans are to continue to open similar exhibits in other countries around the world. Each exhibit includes a lifesize replica of the Shroud, 2 lifesize holographic images by Petrus Soons showing the 3 dimensional characteristics of the Shroud image, replicas of the instruments of the crucifixion and a beautiful, lifesize bronze sculpture of the man of the Shroud by Luigi Mattei.
