DENVER, May 16, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Eight rare Relics of the Passion, with a unique musical and meditative program focused on Passion of Christ, will be presented at 10 Catholic churches across greater Denver & Colorado Springs area. 

The event, designed to connect participants to roots of their faith, is sponsored by churches where relics will be presented in collaboration with the Apostolate for Holy Relics (AHR), an organization founded 10 years ago in Los Angeles.

It's very rare to see a group of related holy relics all in one place as is presented in this program. Collections such as this are generally seen only in Rome or Holy Land & is something that most people only get to see once in a lifetime.

The documents for these relics have been reviewed & authenticated prior to commencement of first tour in 2007. Since then, they've been venerated in more than 12 archdioceses & 9 dioceses throughout world. 

Because of the Holy Father's declaration of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, AHR is pleased to be presenting this extraordinary collection at area churches as part of a nationwide tour promoting God's Mercy.

The Relics of the Passion collection includes:

• A piece of True Cross, which was discovered by St. Helena
   
• A piece of Holy Table from room where Last Supper took place
   
• A piece of Column of Flagellation
   
• A piece of The Crown of Thorns
   
• A replica of Holy Nail, fashioned using filings from true nails, making it a relic of a lesser class.
   
• A relic from head of St. Longinus, centurion who pierced side of Christ
   
• A picture of (effigy of) Veil of Veronica touched to original with a Vatican seal attesting toe fact.
   
• A piece of exterior wrapping for Shroud of Turin

Schedule of events:

Presentations in Colorado begin in Denver on Sunday, May 22, continuing through Tuesday, May 31. The complete schedule of events for Catholic churches in Colorado can be found at

Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki of Milwaukee, Bishop David L. Ricken of Green Bay, and Bishop William P. Callahan of LaCrosse encourage all the faithful to make a pilgrimage of faith "to pray, as did the Apostles: 'Lord increase our faith' (Lk 17:5)."

Holy Hill is located in southeast Wisconsin, on the highest elevation in that part of the state. Situated on 435 acres of rural countryside, it provides the visitor with the opportunity for spiritual enrichment. We often hear visitors remark about the peace, beauty and serenity they find at Holy Hill.
As early as 1903, Holy Hill was declared a Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. In 2006, the Shrine was raised to the status of Minor Basilica. But as far back as the 1700s and perhaps earlier, the American Indians came to Holy Hill because they considered it a sacred place.
Many come to Holy Hill as "tourists", only to find that they have been touched by something deeper than natural beauty or curiosity. We know that God is truly present on this Holy Hill, and we invite you to come and share with us this Presence!

Annual May Celebration

May 17, 2015 | Outdoor Mass & Rosary Procession: 11 A.M.

This Shrine event was started around turn of 20th century by Abbot Bernard H. Pennings, O. Praem, of St. Norbert Abbey in De Pere, Wis. It was originally celebrated on last day of May as a special day of prayer to combat a heresy that was influencing local Belgian inhabitants. At that time, the last day in May was Feast of the Queenship of Mary and probably why Abbot Pennings picked that day for the celebration. Later, the event at the Shrine was switched to last Sunday in May and called Annual May Celebration. When Church calendar was revised, Queenship of Mary was moved to August 22, one week after Solemnity of the Assumption, to highlight connection of those 2 Marian celebrations. May 31 became Feast of the Visitation.
