Title: Christian Relics and the Arma Christi Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Steve Knupp Format: mp3 Length: 1 hr and 27 mins Release date: 08-18-23 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Biblical History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In the early years of Christianity, it was forbidden to move and share the remains of saints and martyrs, and they were protected so that their final resting places, such as catacombs and cemeteries, remained intact. The earliest recorded Christian relics, specifically the bones and ashes of martyrs, date from the second century. Two hundred years later, St. Ambrose and others set out to dig up the corpses and honor them. At that time, it was considered that every holy body could be dismembered and divided among the faithful to worship it.
