holy artifacts

Consecrated religious items

Holy artifacts are objects believed to possess sacred power or significance due to their connection with divine figures, saints, or religious events.

These include relics like bone fragments, preserved garments, or items a holy person touched.

In religious traditions, holy artifacts may be venerated, displayed in shrines, or credited with miraculous properties.

In fantasy contexts, holy artifacts are powerful items blessed by gods or imbued with divine magic: The paladin sought the holy artifact to defeat the demon lord.
