About Sacra
Who We Are
Sacra is an online platform dedicated to documenting and sharing information about Catholic saints and their relics. By merging ancient traditions with modern technology, we provide an accessible, accurate, and comprehensive digital archive. Our platform is completely free and serves scholars, pilgrims, and anyone interested in exploring Catholic heritage.
How It Works
Sacra is organized into two main sections: Reliquiarum and Sanctorum. In Reliquiarum, users can explore an interactive map and detailed records of sacred relics, including their histories, locations, and significance. The Sanctorum section provides in-depth profiles of saints, covering biographies, feast days, and associated relics. Both sections are seamlessly interconnected, allowing users to easily discover the relationships between saints and relics.
Sacred Heritage
The veneration of relics is an ancient practice deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, dating back to the early Church. Relics serve as physical reminders of the saints' holy lives and ongoing spiritual presence. Sacra aims to preserve this important heritage digitally, making it available and meaningful to future generations.
Our Mission
Our goal is to build a detailed, reliable digital archive of saints and relics that supports research, spiritual exploration, and devotion. Specifically, we aim to:
- Document and preserve comprehensive information about sacred relics.
- Provide accurate, scholarly, and accessible content about saints.
- Highlight connections between saints and their relics.
- Support spiritual reflection and devotion through accessible technology.
