Despite the early Church’s well-known CLAIM of preserving, treasuring, and venerating the bodies (or parts of bodies, i.e., relics) of John the Baptist, the apostles, martyrs, and other saints, there is a total absence of any CLAIMED relics of the Blessed Virgin Mary from history BECAUSE...

No one in the EARLY church considered her that important.

She was LESS revered than John the Baptist, any of the apostles, any of the martyrs, and any of the other saints?

That’s your explanation for the absence of any relics or even claims of relics?

You’re serious?

It’s clear that your peculiar, backwoods religious ideology takes precedence over even the views of St. Matthew and St. Luke.
