Catholic relics are a physical link to the saints. Ours are second-class relics (ex indumentis, from the saint's clothing), relics touched to a saint's tomb, and soil or stone from holy places.
Read more and FAQ
The highest class, part of the saint's body itself, stays in churches and shrines. What you find here is a second-class relic (ex indumentis, from the saint's clothing), a small fragment of fabric from a garment the saint wore; a relic touched to the saint's tomb or shrine; or soil or stone from a holy place, such as the Roman catacombs, the holy ground of Medjugorje or the cave of St. Michael on Mount Gargano.
Most pieces hold a second-class relic of St. Padre Pio or St. John Paul II, along with St. Rita, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Faustina, St. Maximilian Kolbe and others. The relic is never sold: it is a gift with the medal, rosary or card that holds it. Many pieces are also blessed by Pope Leo XIV in Rome, and each blessed item ships with a holy card of the Papal blessing.
The relics are grouped in three pages. Relic Medals carry a fragment ex indumentis set into the medal, mostly of Padre Pio and St. John Paul II. Relic Rosaries hold the relic in the centerpiece, including rosaries with a medal touched to the spring water of Lourdes. Relic Holy Cards are mostly vintage cards with a relic set into the card. We ship worldwide from Rome; delivery to the US usually takes 2 to 3 weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to buy Catholic relics?
The relic itself is never sold. It comes as a gift with a medal, rosary or card, and you pay only for that object. Our relics are second-class relics (ex indumentis, from the saint's clothing), and a few pieces hold a relic touched to a shrine or soil from a holy place.
What does ex indumentis mean?
It is Latin for "from the clothing". It is a small fragment of fabric from a garment the saint wore, sealed into the medal, rosary or card.
How can I tell if a relic is authentic?
The Church traces relics through documented provenance, often with a sealed document called an authentica. Be cautious with relics offered with no history at all. Each of our listings states which kind of relic it holds, and items blessed by Pope Leo XIV ship with a holy card of the Papal blessing.
How should I keep a relic at home?
Place it on a home altar or carry it with you, and ask the saint to intercede for you. A relic is never thrown away: if you no longer want it, give it to another Catholic or to a church.
