Program explores the history and meaning of the relics of the saints and the passion of the Lord.
How can an ancient object connect Catholics to the sacrifice of Jesus? Why does the Catholic Church venerate and safeguard these objects with such care? These questions begin Mysteries of the Faith, a Netflix series that explores the history and meaning of the relics of the saints and the passion of the Lord.
In a four-part series, some of the most important relics for Catholicism are presented due to their direct relationship with the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus: the Crown of Thorns, the holy grail, and a fragment of the True Cross that is preserved in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Additionally, the last episode of the miniseries focuses on the importance of the relics of saints, especially the bloody shirt of Blessed Rosario Angelo Livatino, an Italian judge murdered in 1990 by the Sicilian mafia.
Although some of the academics who speak about the relics question their authenticity, describing their stories — duly documented and proven by the Church throughout the centuries — as “legends,” each episode also gives prominence to various Catholic voices with a connection to the holy objects.
