There are many purposes of a relic, here's a couple:

Relics can be used to just remind one of a particular saint.

They can also be used to wear. For example, on a necklace, bracelet, etc.

Most people obtain relics when they want to pray for the intercession of a particular saint. They themselves have their own personal reasons why, but most of the time it's for a healing of some sort. Either, spiritual or physical, but most of the time it's for a physical healing.

Remember if you have a relic in your possession, always keep it safe, and treasure it, they are not that easy to obtain.

What is the difference between a replica and a relic?

A replica is an exact copy or reproduction of an object, often made to be displayed or used in place of the original. A relic, on the other hand, is a historic or sacred object that is preserved due to its cultural, religious, or historical significance. Relics are often revered and considered to have intrinsic value beyond their physical form.
