Last weekend, thousands of people travelled to northern Italy for a rare chance to see the Shroud of Turin. This linen cloth is believed by many Christians to have been wrapped around the body of Jesus Christ at his burial. It bears the image of a crucified man. The Shroud has been kept at Turin's Cathedral since 1574 and opportunities for the public to see it are rare. But it's now on display until May 23rd and around 2 million visitors are expected to travel to Turin. But as Helen Seeney reports, the debate over whether it's genuine goes on.

What are relics?

In Christianity, relics are the material remains of a deceased saint or martyr and objects closely associated with those remains.

Relics can be entire skeletons, but more usually they consist of a part such as a bone, hair or tooth. Pieces of clothing worn by the deceased saint or even an object that has come in contact with a relic is also considered a relic.

Relics have played an important role in Christian ritual since the earliest centuries of the church and were a major part of popular religion in the Middle Ages. Until 1969, relics were placed under the altar stones of all Roman Catholic churches. The veneration of relics was rejected by most of the Protestant Reformers and most Protestants today, but relics continue to play an important part in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity.

This 750 year old reliquary once held the bones of a saint & was believed to have miraculous powers. Who'd had thought midi rings were fashionable in the Middle Ages, too!
