Does Turkey have a patron saint?
Turkey has no patron saint officially, primarily due, I suppose, to it being a Muslim country. However, I think they would like to make St. Nicholas their patron saint as he was born in that country. In the 11th century the relics of St. Nicholas were taken from the town of Myra in Turkey to protect them. They were moved to the town of Bari in Italy, where they remain today. Now Turkey has requested that the relics be returned.

What were the relics of the Medieval Church?
Relics in any church, of the middle ages or now, are the bones of saints placed in the altar stone. This custom originated with in the early years of the church when Mass was said on the tombs of the saints in the catacombs. Relics were, and still are, displayed also in ornate reliquaries in some churches, especially in Europe, for the faithful to venerate. Others are displayed only on the feast days of the saint. It is unfortunate that our modern 'progressive' clergy has, for the most part, abandoned this ancient practice. The veneration of relics dates back to the time of the apostles.
