Arizona Faithful Have Chance to View Relics of Our Lord's Passion

The Arizona State Council of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men’s organization, had four days to put on a display of the items that also include a fragment from the Crown of Thorns, a piece of the True Cross on which Christ died, a relic of the burial shroud, something from the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus gathered with his disciples before his arrest, a fragment from the Upper Room where the Last Supper was served and a fragment of the column where Christ was flogged after his arrest. The items are owned by the Apostolate for Holy Relics in Los Angeles and will travel to Denver on Sunday.

The items are part of 1,200 sacred relics in the apostolate’s care and most were previously kept in a Roman Catholic basilica in Rome. Most were transported from Jerusalem to Rome in the 4th century, and the church says its research confirms authenticity.

I believe these are the same relics which we had here last year. And the lines were unbelievably long...

What a rare opportunity and blessing for the people of Arizona.
