A relic of a martyr is indeed contained underneath/inside the altar at every Catholic church.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given to every one of them one; And it was said to them that they should rest for a little time till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they, should be filled up.

If I remember correctly, when a new Catholic Church is dedicated,a relic of some sort is placed within the altar. So, yes, every CC church has a relic within it, but not in the walls, in the altar. I cannot give any exact examples. I am not sure whose relics are where...

Hi not in the walls but inside the altar upon which the Holy Eucharist is celebrated.
Usually the relic is from a particular saint and the chapel dedicated to that saint.

You’re precise on some issues and incorrect on others. convinced, we are to settle for Jesus as our Lord and Savior. convinced, Jesus is the single and in effortless words Mediator. No, there could no longer be divisions contained in the religion. convinced, the early church met in peoples’ houses and temples and such, yet you may’t supply up there. For the early church to compare the protestant style, it signifies that the early Christians were free to take the gospel they'd received from the apostles, interpret it for themselves, and coach and carry forth that version to others. That style is definitely incorrect. the properly acceptable style that we see from Jesus is that He taught one faith, and set down one Church. convinced, the Church is the body of believers and not in any respect a construction. The Catholic Church hasn't ever claimed otherwise. The Apostles took the religion they have received from Jesus and taught it to others. the religion develop into no longer open to personal interpretation by technique of the laity. If there develop right into a dispute or question about conception, the apostles were the authority to flow to. you may keep in mind that in this time there develop into New testomony because it hadn’t been written yet. So the protestant declare of the bible being the only authority is pretend. The authority rested with the apostles and later their successors. After a short exam, it’s sparkling that Jesus taught one faith and set down one Church, no longer 35,000 diverse ones. Does the protestant style adventure this? there is in effortless words one Church that got here declare and coach apostolic foundation: The Catholic Church. Protestantism isn't some thing more beneficial than a schism that got here about 500 years in the past. by technique of ways, I’d ask that you supply up enticing of Holy Communion in case you come back to Mass. The priest develop into wanting to carry close in case you’d received sacramental confession, that you of direction didn’t. no matter if you don’t believe in confession or the Eucharist, ought to you a minimum of appreciate our beliefs and not in any respect get carry of communion? I ask this out of appreciate for the Blessed Sacrament and your self. God bless.

A relic can be anything from a full body of a saint, a fragment of bone, to an article of clothing or crucifix...St Cecilia, used to have bone fragments of one of the saints in the center of the main altar.

I believe Claire S is right about every CC having a relic in the altar. I remember our parish priest telling us this. It would be something like a piece of bone, or ashes, from a dead saint, or possibly a piece of material from their clothes.

They should, anyway.
First example coming to my mind: St. Mark's cathedral in Venice has the whole relics of St. Mark the evangelist.

Not in the walls but in the altar, that is the raised square where the priest delivers mass.

If "ALL" contain a hold relic...why not ask for ALL examples?
But, seriously, I really doubt it.

I'm not sure about the walls, but I'm pretty sure there's one inside of every altar.
