Christians have often admired and venerated martyrs who died for their faith, but for long time thought that the bodies of martyrs should remain undisturbed in their graves. Initially, Christian attitude toward the bones of the dead, saint or not, was that of respectful distance. The Beginnings of the Cult of Relics examines how this changed in the mid-fourth century. Robert Wisniewski investigates how Christians began to believe in power of relics, first, over demons, then over physical diseases and enemies. He considers how they sought to reveal hidden knowledge at the tombs of saints and why they buried the death close to them. An essential element of this new belief was a string conviction that the power of relics was transferred in a physical way and so the following chapters study relics as material objects. Wisniewski analyzes what the contact with relics looked like and how close it was. Did people touch, kiss, or look at the very bones, or just at reliquaries which contained them? When did the custom of dividing relics appear? Finally, the book the book deals with discussions and polemics concerning relics and tries to find out how strong was the opposition which this new phenomenon had to face, both within and outside Christianity on its way relics to become an essential element of the medieval religiosity.

Saint Suaire, fragments de la Vraie Croix, couronne d'épines, clous de la Passion, mais aussi prépuce ou encore dents de lait : depuis la fin du iiie siècle, les reliques du Christ n'ont cessé de peupler l'imaginaire des croyants. La fascination qu'elles exercent nous transporte entre évocation et vénération, à la frontière entre le réel et le merveilleux. Preuves tangibles de l'existence de Jésus face au vide du Sépulcre, elles interrogent les fondements de la perception de la figure du Dieu fait homme. De la quête de leur existence à la volonté d'asseoir leur authenticité, en passant par leur circulation de l'Orient à l'Occident, leur histoire relève d'une épopée fabuleuse, dont Nicolas Guyard, recourant à de nombreuses sources inédites, se fait ici le conteur, depuis la Jérusalem des premiers chrétiens jusqu'aux ostensions du Suaire de Turin. Une véritable enquête entre le matériel et le spirituel au coeur du christianisme occidental. --
