Relics and artifacts can help us ‘find Jesus’

Pilgrims touch a casing containing the "'Holy Robe" in the cathedral in Trier, Germany, April 15. The ancient town of Trier marks the 500th anniversary of the first public appearance of the Seamless Robe of Jesus, reportedly worn during, or shortly before his crucifixion. Some 500,000 pilgrims are expected to visit the relic through May 13.

Why are we so fascinated with any historical artifact — relics, as some call them — associated with Jesus?
