Relics affected everyone in medieval society. Saintly morsels such as bones hair teeth & clothes & items like the Crown of Thorns coveted by Louis IX of France were thought to bring the believer closer to the saint who might intercede with God on his or her behalf. In the first comprehensive history in English of the rise of relic cults Charles Freeman takes readers on a vivid fast-paced journey from Constantinople to the northern Isles of Scotland over the course of a millennium. In Holy Bones Holy Dust" Freeman illustrates that the pervasiveness & variety of relics answered very specific needs of ordinary people across a darkened Europe under threat of political upheavals disease & hellfire. But relics were not only venerated

Freeman examines an expansive array of relics in the broad social & cultural context of their age showing how the mania for these objects deepens our understanding of the medieval world & why these relics continue to capture our imagination."
