That's what I was wondering. How would they stop you? Drag you out of the church? |

I have venerated the relics of many pre-schism saints in Italy. Occasionally someone has looked twice  but what you need to remember about Italy is the churches are visited by hordes of clueless tourists who do things much stranger than Orthodox veneration. In Christ, Sr Margaret |

I didn't know there was a special way to venerate relics. How is it done?
Also I'm not sure where to go for St. Aidan of Lindisfarne... his bones were moved from Holy Island. Where are they?

Although I never venerated relics or icons like that as a child, I recalled some RCC family members (from the Philippines) who used to kiss statues, pictures and the other items on the house altar.
I don't know how strange that might be considered in some RCC churches...

You kiss them. Do you mean kiss the actual bones? A lot of our british saints were buried during the reformation. what is the practice for interred saints? [btw. I have found the troparion and kontakion for st. aidan, and have started to use them before his icon... ] |

and the bodies of some saints are unknown to us for hundreds of years, only until they meraculiouslt reveal to us the location of their relics. |

Relics are usually kept in the reliquaries.

Where are the relics of St. John of Damascus? I tried searching for them, but nothing...

Also I'm not sure where to go for St. Aidan of Lindisfarne... his bones were moved from Holy Island. Where are they?
His relics were moved to Durham Cathedral in the 990s; St. Cuthbert was also buried there. I'm sure the cathedral has been rebuilt at least a couple of times since then, so that might have to be taken into account, and hopefully both of their relics survived the Reformation... But I hope this helps.  |

Blessed Nazarius practiced the ascetic life. His clothes were tattered. He wore his shoes without removing them for six years. Headscarves cover a multitude of sins.

But I hope this helps. According to an old pamphlet I have from Durham Cathedral it has all of the relics of St Cuthbert, the head of St Oswald and some of the relics of St Bede. It doesn't say anything about what eventually happened to St Aidan's remains. Best wishes, Sr Margaret |
