Angels and Relics

[Gelassenheit]

I was looking at an online catalog for relic medals the other day, and I noticed that one could buy a 3rd class relic medal for St Michael the Archangel. My understanding of 3rd class relics is that they were touched to the body of a saint (the same catalog even said as much, too). Given that angels are spirits, without bodies, how is it possible to have a 3rd class relic in that case?

Thanks in advance for any help and information, and God bless.

“Relics” of St. Michael the Archangel come from a site called Mount Gargano, where an apparition of St. Michael appeared in the 6th century. You can get more information here:
