@abdimarihotmarbun: Did you know? Relics of the saints - a profound tradition that connects our modern liturgy directly to the early Church. This beautiful practice mirrors the heavenly liturgy described in Sacred Scripture: "I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the witness they bore to the word of God.!" Revelation 6:9 When early Christians celebrated Mass in the catacombs, they did so directly over the stone tombs of the martyrs. Today, when the priest kisses the altar at the beginning of Mass, he honors Christ-the ultimate sacrificial cornerstone-while standing in communion with the great "cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) who have run the race before us. The next time you look at the altar, remember that heaven and earth truly meet in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, surrounded by the prayers of the saints! #Catholic #Church #Bible #Relics #Saints credit video IG reels dunkin.dominican
