评论家和艺术历史学家的安德鲁格雷厄姆狄克逊探究古代基督教如何保护神圣遗迹的，以及圣骨匣这种被大众以往的艺术形式。装着骨头和布料碎片的镶嵌满宝石的圣骨匣，黄金人头雕像，原尺寸的银手都被认为是具有奇迹魔力的圣物。

Andrew Graham-Dixon explores the ancient Christian practice of preserving holy relics and the largely forgotten art form that went with it, the reliquary. Fragments of bone or fabric placed inside a bejewelled shrine, a sculpted golden head or even a life-sized silver hand were, and still are, objects of religious devotion believed to have the power to work miracles. The documentary features interviews with art historian Sister Wendy Beckett and Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum.
