<Li> First - Class Relics: items directly associated with the events of Christ's life (manger, cross, etc .) or the physical remains of a saint (a bone, a hair, skull, a limb, etc .). Traditionally, a martyr's relics are often more prized than the relics of other saints . Parts of the saint that were significant to that saint's life are more prized relics . For instance, King St. Stephen of Hungary's right forearm is especially important because of his status as a ruler . A famous theologian's head may be his most important relic . (The head of St. Thomas Aquinas was removed by the monks at the Cistercian abbey at Fossanova where he died .) If a saint did a lot of traveling, then the bones of his feet may be prized . Catholic teaching prohibits relics to be divided up into small, unrecognizable parts if they are to be used in liturgy (i.e., as in an altar; see the rubrics listed in Rite of Dedication of a Church and an Altar). </Li> <Li> Second - Class Relics: items that the saint owned or frequently used, for example, a crucifix, rosary, book, etc . Again, an item more important in the saint's life is thus a more important relic . Sometimes a second - class relic is a part of an item that the saint wore (a shirt, a glove, etc .) and is known as ex indumentis ("from the clothing"). </Li> <Li> Third - Class Relics: any object that is touched to a first - or second - class relic . Most third - class relics are small pieces of cloth, though in the first millennium oil was popular; the Monza ampullae contained oil collected from lamps burning before the major sites of Christ's life, and some reliquaries had holes for oil to be poured in and out again . Many people call the cloth touched to the bones of saints "ex brandea". But ex brandea strictly refers to pieces of clothing that were touched to the body or tombs of the apostles . It is a term that is used only for such; it is not a synonym for a third - class relic . </Li> <P> The sale or disposal by other means of relics without the permission of the Apostolic See is nowadays strictly forbidden by canon 1190 of the Code of Canon Law . Relics may not be placed upon the altar for public veneration, as that is reserved for the display of the Blessed Sacrament (host or prosphora and Eucharistic wine after consecration in the sacrament of the Eucharist). </P>
