The Holy Network. The place of textiles in early relic circulation
Original language description
The present paper focuses on the origins and early development of relic circulation with a particular emphasis on the role of textile in the multiplication of the sacred wealth of local churches. Since the middle of the fourth century, Christian communities were in search for the holy protection provided by the intercession of the martyrs, guaranteed by the possession of their lifeless bodies. In order to provide this kind of protection for the communities missing their own local martyrs – and observing the imperial law prohibiting the disturbing and dismembering of dead bodies – the practice of producing what we call secondary or contact relics made its way in the Western part of the Empire. Two major bishoprics of the Christian West at the end of the fourth century, Rome and Milan, were following two different strategies of producing and distributing relics.
