Calling All Relic Hunters: World’s First Map of Relics Unveiled by Anthony Di Mauro

A new apostolate brings the ‘saints back into the heart of the Church’s life' on the feast of the Veneration of the Holy Relics.

Today marks the feast of the Veneration of the Holy Relics, and to mark the occasion, Anthony Di Mauro, founder of The Relic Project, has unveiled the world’s first map of relics.

Following the example of St. Carlo Acutis who created a website to chart and catalogue the world’s Eucharistic miracles, Di Mauro’s latest project is the first interactive digital map of relics, all accessible through an online platform, uniting “faith, technology and tradition” in a creative way.

Speaking to a crowd gathered at a fundraiser to celebrate the official launch, Di Mauro said:

“After encountering a hidden relic in my home parish, something in me awakened. I began searching for more throughout my diocese, only to realize how many sacred treasures were hidden or undocumented. That’s when it became clear: The Church needs a comprehensive database of relics, so we can truly know who we have, where they are and how the faithful can benefit from these treasures in their midst.”
