Blood, Stones and Holy Bones
- ddffggaa 5y agoFrom the article: "they responded that ‘whoever did not believe that the holy body of the Apostle St James the Great lay in the high altar, and doubted, and wanted to see the body, would immediately become as mad as a rabid dog’" Since ancient times, the Catholic Church has placed the relics of martyrs underneath the altar. The fact that the voices of the martyrs come from under the altar (Revelation 6:9-10)– exactly where their relics are located in Catholic churches – is an interesting biblical confirmation of the Catholic practice.
