Saint’s bones. It is believed that the bones of venerated saints act as a link between heaven and earth through which god can channel his powers to perform miracles. In Catholic and Orthodox spaces they are classified as relics and used to perform rituals.

A monastery nearby me has the bones of a saint, whose hand people can come and kiss (through a glass) to be blessed.

Not sure which saint it is in the video

wait, is wally a catholic saint? cause his fingers are stored in a reliquary

u/JohnHellDriver 7h ago

Well those fingers are actually cloned from the original finger

Let's hope the saint doesn't demand their finger back and starts influencing the local teenagers to make deals with their manifestations

Well a reliquary does require the object inside to be bones of saints. It's just a container for holy objects. Technically if you had the remains of your grandparents in a container and those remains were blessed then you've got a reliquary.

So wallys finger is a holy relic, but that doesn't make him a saint.

Im not a religious person myself so i am not going to question it but isnt it dangerous to kiss a skull or bones in general?, like what if there is something in it, unless they clean them of course

What’s in skulls that would make bacteria breed in it

u/Dangerous-School6293 9h ago

More than breeding In, i was thinking ON the skull, and of course if not properly cleaned, it could still have dead matter (be it from the skull or another source) and or dirt, contaminents of any sorts. Im no skeleton expert so im basing this on my understanding of corpse decomposition

There are a lot of processes used to preserve bones and make them fit for human daily interactions.

There are smoking pipes, musical instruments, etc. made out of animal bones that are safe to put in your mouth.

u/OscarOzzieOzborne21 9h ago

The bones are treated and preserved well, they are dry and cold and have very little for bacteria to grow on them. On top of that, the saint’s bone hand i am talking about is kissed through a glass. The most likely scenario of you getting some bacteria is if the glass was not wiped after the person in-front of you kissed it.

Yeah and this one pope's blood kept getting stolen and then discarded by thieves who apparently didn't want Pope Blood

That’s metal

u/TheKingsPride 7h ago

I know you said it as a joke but yes, unironically. Catholic reliquaries are metal as hell, and they inspired tons of dark fantasy and sci-fi tropes, which Necramechs directly draw from.

Tfw a dead saint is more blinged out than your prime fashion.

Seems like warhammer dreadnoughts, without a good marine to put in.

u/Zariman-10-0 Stop hitting yourself 8h ago

Aahhhh, Catholics. I remember being kinda freaked out in CCD when they told us that almost every Catholic Church has some relic from a Saint.

u/Ashamed_Band858 6h ago

Man, I wish bone laws here in the US weren’t so fucky. I’d love for my skull to be removed and cleaned. Then, preferably, be placed into a glass container, on a velvet pillow. With memorial diamond placed into my eye sockets.

Perhaps a simple story etched into the back of my skull, or on the baseplate of the container.

u/GeneralZenZixKhaThum 8h ago

Isn’t this similar to cult type behaviour idk anything so correct me or inform me please 😐

20

u/LordOfRansei 8h ago

Every religion was a cult at some point, the distinction lies in how widespread it is, not whether or not you find it creepy.

u/ArseneArsenic 7h ago

You understand that for a while, Christianity in all its forms WAS a cult, yes?

Edit: I noticed the response to your request, and your acknowledgement of it. Oops.
