How do you treat the remains of your relatives? Do you regard their remains as rotten? Or do you treat their remains reverently?
I'm sure it's the latter. Sometimes people are buried underground in expensive caskets. Sometimes the caskets are kept above ground in mausoleums. Sometimes the remains are cremated and kept in an urn in a home. A loved one might kiss a casket at the burial, kiss a headstone or kiss a cremation urn. All of these are ways of expressing love in a reverent manner.
The remains of saints aren't due any less respect.
You could always boil them and make soup.
Once buried we leave them buried, unlike the catholic grave robbers who dig up their's to make relics and icons from them, and or adorn church walls with their bones and skulls....which is everything but reverent or respectful of the deceased
Nor do we raid their graves to make corpse idols to be worshipped as catholics do
Yeah, we treat them reverently. We don’t dig up their remains and put them on display or build churches out of them.
We let them rest in PEACE.
