All Christian Relics

Physical objects Christian tradition venerates as relics of Christ's life and passion or of the early church, the Shroud of Turin, the Sudarium of Oviedo, the Crown of Thorns, fragments of the True Cross held at Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and the disputed Holy Prepuce. Authenticity is contested for every entry here, from modern dating evidence against some to a simple absence of unbroken provenance for others; this atlas records what a tradition venerates as a relic, not a claim that evidence supports its stated origin.
