World’s First Religious Relics to be made into NFTs

• Artentik launches NFT marketplace for Portugal’s Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML)
• St Francis of Xavier to be celebrated as a NFT on his feast day of December 3rd

Artentik, the digital marketplace for SCML, is dropping the world’s first religious relics in the form of Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFTs) for the 500-year-old social enterprise organisation and keeper of the Museum and Church of São Roque in Lisbon, which houses one of the most important religious collections in Catholic Europe.

Artentik will be SCML’s curated platform to share digital twins of its treasures and encourage living artists to also sell their works as NFTs. This will enable SCML to monetize and promote its unique cultural heritage to the world while continuing its extensive 500-year support to social causes.

The first NFT drop will take place on December 1st and is drawn from SCML’s sacred art collection, one of the finest in the world.
