In religion, something that once belonged to a saint or other holy person can become a thing of reverence. These religious relics can be anything, from an average, everyday towel to a person’s actual body parts. And although the most commonly known relics might belong to Christianity, they can actually be found across all religions.
You’re probably already familiar with several famous objects, like Jesus’ burial shroud or the nails from the Crucifixion, but there are plenty more around the world that are stranger than expected. From the Virgin Mary’s breast milk to the Buddha’s teeth, these are the world's most fascinating religious relics.
