I think there is a soory in Acts that says the Apostles would wipe the sweat from their face and give it to a sick person and they would be healed. Am AI imagining this? Can someone help me out?
 
ACTS 19:12 … describes how handkerchiefs and aprons that were used by Paul were taken away and used to heal the sick. Means that these were “artifacts” that had the spirit imbued in them because of Paul. It was God’s healing power through faith in God, but the means was just an apron or towel that was used by Paul.

This is the basis and historical tradition of catholic relics and how we venerate saints.
 
Yes, this is a very interesting passage indeed. Relics can also activate the faith within us prompting healings, miracles, etc…
 
A very informative answer - these relics truly were fascinating!
