SUMMARY:Veneration of the Relics of St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, June 15\, 2025\, all are invited to venerate the relics of St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope of Molokai\, which will be exposed in the Crypt Church of the Basilica. The relics will be on display from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. It is fitting that on this day\, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity\, we host the relics of these two saints who are enshrined in Basilica’s Trinity Dome. \nFor more information\, please see our previous blogposts about St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope. \nSt. Damien and St. Marianne Cope depicted in the Trinity Dome of the Basilica\nCompleted in 2017 as the ‘crowning jewel’ of the Basilica\, the magnificent Trinity Dome sits at the crossing or central axis of the Great Upper Church. It’s central prominence in the Basilica is symbolic\, for as the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and life” (CCC 234). The Trinity Dome contains mosaic depictions of the Holy Trinity\, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception\, and 18 saints — including St. Damien and St. Marianne Cope\, spread around the dome. \nSource: \nRohling\, Geraldine M.\, PhD\, MAEd. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception: Guide and Tour Book. Washington\, D.C.: Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Exposition of the Passion Relics
DESCRIPTION:The Veneration of Relics\, as stipulated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)\, is an acceptable form of devotion and piety (CCC\, 1674). Such expressions of piety extend the liturgical life of the Church but do not replace it. Derived from the liturgy\, they are to “harmonize with the liturgical seasons” and lead the faithful back to the liturgy (CCC\, 1675). In the early Church\, the veneration of the relics of the suffering and death of Our Lord was central to the observances of Holy Week at Jerusalem and the practice of pilgrimage. \nAs a pilgrimage church\, the National Shrine maintains a treasury of relics and reliquaries\, which include those of Jesus Christ and of His Passion. The National Shrine also preserves relics of the Blessed Virgin Mary\, the women who stood with her at the foot of the Cross\, and of the Apostles. \nOn Good Friday\, April 18\, 2025\, the National Shrine will observe Exposition of the Relics of the Passion of Our Lord from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Crypt Church. From 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.\, exposition will pause for Stations of the Cross and will resume at 1:00 p.m. The line will close at 5:45 p.m. \nThis sacramental event is part of the closing of the Shrine’s celebration of “100 Years of Worship\,” commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first Mass being celebrated at the National Shrine. In addition\, this devotion is especially significant for the faithful during this Jubilee Year of Hope\, as the National Shrine was designated by the U.S. bishops as a special pilgrimage site. \nThe faithful are invited to come\, venerate the holy relics\, and spend time in prayer and meditation of Sacred Scripture.
