I have a question… I heard today that first class relics should not sent through the mail, but delivered in person? is this true?

I’m actualy wondering about second class relics… can we send those? would it be a good idea to use priority mail?

or is this not allowed too?

thanks 🙂
 
Might be postal regulations, as a first class relic is a body part (even if very old)
 
Wow! I would only trusted this to a devoted courier. [for religious as well as practical reasons] If the object is moving overseas, I would consult an auction house such as Sutherbys on the safest method of transport. Well worth the research. As you know, the cost of a first class relic is incalculable.

i received several 1st class relics via mail. and some came from the vatican itself so i assume there is nothing wrong with sending them by parcel. all it said on the package was Fragile: religious object.
 
If I was receiving a relic through the mail, I would want the box marked “fragile,” especially if it was a first-class relic.

Spiritual cost, not monetary cost. 👍
 
Cloud one of you please explain to me the process of attaining a relic? Much thanks in advance

I hope those who have been receiving first class relics have not bought them because that is forbidden by the Church.

Personally, I object to anyone having a first class relic even if it has been given and not bought. These are body parts of saints and in my view should be exclusively in the hands of the Church where many can venerate them instead of being privately hoarded.
 
Thanks for the replies, but just to clarify, I was asking about a second class relic… not first class. Does that change anything? can we send them through the mail, if it’s in priority mail and carefully done?
