What are Catholic Relics

Venerating a relic of St. Jude (2024 Roseville)

Whenever I have the opportunity to venerate a Catholic relic of a Saint or of Jesus, I always touch my scapular to the reliquary. In the picture above I am touching my wedding ring to a relic of St. Jude.  The following are videos that explain, in a much better way than I can, what a Catholic Relic is, where this concept is found in the Bible, and why I touch my sacramentals to them.
