Road to the Relic—Living Christian History in Stockton, CA!!!

A piece of living Christian history is finding its way to Stockton, California! 

Christian worship experience has existed for 2000 years, and for two-thousand years, worshiping in the presence of the bones of saints and martyrs has been Christian practice.  From the experience of worshiping in the catacombs among the bones of martyred brothers-and-sisters-in-Christ, to the collection of the bones of martyred Saint Polycarp in the 2nd Century, and throughout the centuries—Christian history, and the tradition of relics, enable us to experience the reality that the Body of Christ is not limited to those still alive in this life, but includes those who have already fallen asleep in the Lord!
