This paper analyzes the relationship between episcopacy and the cult of the relics in Sasanian Empire. It will be argued that the cult of martyrs’ relics contributed to the shift in the definition of episcopal Authority in the Church of the East in Fifth Century. In this regard, the tensions over the control of Christian shrines cannot be understood as an actual conflict between preexistent lay and clerical elites.
