Relic and Science

The attitude of a believer to the saints and sacred relics is as old as the Christianity itself. However, certain events that took place over the course of various historical periods made the attitude to relics change. Science too made an attempt to play decisive role in it by offering his services to test the authenticity of relics… The relationships between faith and science on sacred relics are explained and interpreted by Rev. Fr. Asoghik Karapetian, Director of the Museums, Archives and Manuscript Repository of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, archaeologists Artak Gnuni and Igit Gharibyan.
