How do I dispose of holy cards and objects?

Hey Father! I have all these holy cards and objects and want to get rid of them. Can I throw them away? Our Fr. Braden from Our Saviour in Jacksonville answers that question in this week’s edition of Hey Father! If you have any question about our faith, leave a comment below, and we’ll try to include it in an upcoming edition.

Thank you, i found a holy card in a new house and i wanted to be respectful instead of just throw out. This is very helpful o

[@ezekielvallada3997]

I refrain from disposing religious objects if they are still fine I collect them even how old are they
But If its broken I recommend Just bury them or Give them to your local parish

[@DianneElizabeth64]

Never thought the broken ones would have so much sentiment

[@emilypickett892]

This was very helpful. Thank You Father!

[@diospringfieldIL]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gegaoli]

Very helpful. Thank you Father!

[@stephanusandi9098]

What I really want to know is: Do we have a proper prayer or some kind of ritual, when we bury or burn those objects? Or we just burn and bury them, without saying anything/no prayer at all?
But If we do have the prayer/ritual for that, would you mind to share it with us. Thank you.

[@luisadolfocarballoroque1497]

Is the same question I have, but haven´t find any prayer

How can I dispose of the mass cards given to me when my husband passed away. I have kept them for 21 years. I am moving soon to a senior community and do not have a lot of storage room. I feel bad about it.

[@Gudregerar7]

Oh Thank you! That was a great help! I have several blessed palm leaves around the house. I keep forgetting taking them to the church before Ash Wednesday… have them piled up behind pictures of Jesus and Mary. But it’s staring to become to many…

Thank you, Father. God Bless.😇🙏

Thank you for this video... helped me two years after it was posted...

[@xxxsaraHelloxxx]

I never thought of burying them or blessed palms. Thank u father

[@Navygrl58]

Also you don’t want to just throw holy objects in the garbage because there are some sick people out there who will use them for desecration purposes, so I always burn or bury holy objects. Thanks Father!

[@kristabeth_travels]

What about statues? It could be quite cumbersome to dig and bury old broken statues.

[@jojoduquatredeux5077]

Thanks a lot for this video!

[@marialourdesbaniqued5923]

Good to know of the proper way to dispose pictures of God, Jesus, Blessed Virgin Mary, angels and saints.
Thank you

Will something bad happen if I just threw a broken rosary in the trash. I did not know this

[@DianneElizabeth64]

No. You were innocent

[@hkk3656]

Nothing. They are just superstitious nonsense.

[@KathleenSmall-g4y]

Can It be shredded?

[@liz41596]

Do we bury them directly on the ground or inside a box or bag? I have plenty of broken rosaries and I want to bury them around the perimeter of the house but I need to know this first. Thank you!

[@JehovahJireh369]

Probably either way is fine. With or without any box or bag.

[@jaydee2620]

Thanks I needed this.

[@gandolfogeraci8368]

How do we recycle/throw away funeral prayer cards?

[@diospringfieldIL]

This is a great questions and we will add to a future Hey Father!

[@Joseph-qr5nv]

I get a lot of cards of saints, Mother MARY. They are NOT blessed. How do I dispose of them? Burn, bury or can I send it for re-cycling?

[@dearlyfeminine8129]

With all due respect, Isnt he too cute to be a priest. But anyhow I appreciate the information. Was useful. God bless everyone 🙏

[@visionar007]

Nobody is too cute to be a priest.

[@UnderAttack-x1s]

I'm glad he is a priest

[@lynnemarie2022]

How do you discard a broken up plastic religious statue? You certainly don't want to try to burn it nor do you want to bury it for obvious reasons.

[@kajohn7199]

Rev. Father I have few holy bibles ..kindly suggest me the appropriate way to dispose these Bibles. I m not willing to burn it....

[@diospringfieldIL]

Sometimes parishes will be looking for those as donations or the diocese. Feel free to reach out! Thank you!

How to properly burn palm branches do we just throw them in the fireplace or do we put them on thrash to burn? I’m not sure what to do with all these old palm branches thank you

What about candles with holy images? Do we bury them too.

Yep!

And what do we do with the ash if we burn the cards? Can we just left it anywhere or bury or what?

Our holy water seems to have green something settled on the bottom of our holy water. What should we do? Use? Dispose?

[@carolpetro3267]

Send old religious objects to the missions

[@swell_gal]

Is the same is true for Christmas and/or Easter cards? (that represent Jesus or other saints), but they are not really blessed by a church representative?

[@redjadiabuen7841]

Thanks father for the information…

[@xmc7189]

Thanks for the explanation but the background music is not appropriate for a religious video.

[@liz41596]

Says who? Is there a guide from RUclips or from the church for a "religious video"? or you just assuming there should be gregorian chants just because?

[@ArchivesofCreation]

Jesus warned that Christians should call no one on Earth Father in the spiritual sense. I cannot understand why you ignore this command.

[@Slit-dl6gl]

Your comment reminds me of that song sung by protestants...
Father Abraham had many sons
Many sons had Father Abraham
I am one of them and so are you
So let’s all praise the Lord.
Right arm!

[@ArchivesofCreation]

@@Slit-dl6gl Abraham was not their spiritual father dingus. Jesus means in the spiritual sense.
Why did Jesus command not to call anyone on Earth father, was he spouting hot air. Think more carefully
