Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
To obtain sacred relics, medieval monks plundered tombs, avaricious merchants raided churches, and relicmongers scoured the Roman catacombs. In a revised edition of Furta Sacra, Patrick Geary considers the social and cultural context for these acts, asking how the relics were perceived and why the thefts met with the approval of medieval Christians.
