Saints in Alters?
January 10, 2013 at 8:29 pm
Hey, I was talking to my catholic friend today and he was saying that in Catholic churches (Roman Catholic) they place body parts of dead saints inside the alter. I'm not sure if there are many Catholics on this forum but i was wondering what is the basis to do this? And whats the point for doing this? Is it just tradition? And how to they acquire these body's are they like handed over to them?
Just sounds a bit creepy to me.
