From Netflix comes the captivating religious documentary series Mysteries of the Faith. Broken into four parts, several prominent relics of the Catholic Church are discussed, including the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Grail, the Holy Face, and the Holy Cross of Brazil. While there’s some discussion about the authenticity of these objects, the main focus is on the cultural and spiritual meaning that the relics have and the lore that surrounds them. Numerous religious leaders and scholars are interviewed, as well as some of the people who have had moving personal encounters with the relics. However, a couple of the episodes have some awkwardly transitions as they move from topic to topic, and the lore behind some of the relics is rather scant. Yet despite having a few weaknesses, Mysteries of the Faith is a fascinating look at some of the most sacred objects in all of Christendom and the effects that they’ve had on the faithful.
