Holy Relics

Clip: 5/6/2011 | 3m 39s

An exhibition of medieval reliquaries illuminates the power of sacred remains.

We visit the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore to view the exhibition "Treasures of Heaven: Saints, Relics, and Devotion in Medieval Europe" and talk with curator Martina Bagnoli, who says praying with the relics of a saint was "a kind of way of channeling your prayer to heaven."
