Be the Bee # 80 | Why Relics? (Featuring Andrew Boyd, OCA Youth and Young Adult Ministries Director)

Why are relics so important in the Church? Saints are sanctified in both body and soul, and in Scripture we see how their bodies continue to be temples of the Holy Spirit even after death. The relics of the martyrs are especially important, from early liturgies in the catacombs to their place in altars today.

Special thanks to Andrew Boyd, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries from the OCA (Orthodox Church in America)!
