Many of the relics are of uncertain provenance, and may be fake. This especially applies to so-called "relics of martyrs" removed from catacombs in the 17th to mid 19th centuries, and then given arbitrary names. You can find several of these under Baroque altars at Rome. Only the saints in the revised Roman martyrology are listed here.

Revision as of 11:23, 25 May 2019

This list of relics at Rome is a list of some of the many relics displayed or kept in Roman churches.

Many of the relics are of uncertain provenance, and may be fake. This especially applies to so-called "relics of martyrs" removed from catacombs in the 17th to mid 19th centuries, and then given arbitrary names. You can find several of these under Baroque altars at Rome. Listed here are saints and beati in the revised Roman martyrology (2004).

Also see the Saints in Rome website, and Homes of the saints.
