I’ve never been comfortable with relics...I always saw them as superstitious nonsense. It's perfectly scriptural. (see Acts 19:11-12)
So extraordinary were the mighty deeds God accomplished at the hands of Paul
that when face cloths or aprons that touched his skin were applied to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

Relic of St. John Chrysostom reportedly working miracles
It is not required that you personally venerate relics. But it is definitely worth your while to do some research on these extraordinary events. Many miracles occur without relics. What we must always remember is that every miracle comes from God! - not from the relic or the saint to whom it is attributed.
