Greetings! I just finished watching the memorial service for Mother Angelica. At the end of the service, I noticed Franciscans taking rosaries from the mourners and placing them in Mother’s hands for a moment before returning them to the mourners.

If (please God let it be so) Mother Angelica were to ever be declared to be a saint, these rosaries would become relics. My question is if they would become 2nd Class relics or 3rd Class relics?

Thank you for your time!
 
First-class: a part of the saint’s body.
Second-class: a piece of the saint’s clothing or something used by the saint
Third-class: an object which has been touched to a first-class relic.

A rosary that was never used by a saint but was touched to the saint’s body would be a third class relic.
