Description from the seller
Pendent reliquary of the Most Holy Cross
Precious pendant reliquary in metal, belonging to the first half of the 19th century, containing inside a fragment of the Most Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus. On the back is kept its own Episcopalian wax seal.
Most Holy Cross D.N.J.C. (Domini Nostri Jesu Christi):
Wooden fragment traditionally identified as part of the cross on which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. Considered the most sacred among Christian reliquaries, this fragment embodies a powerful symbolic value. The Most Holy Cross represents the culmination of the mystery of the Passion, of Redemption, and of Christ’s salvific sacrifice for humanity. An object of pilgrimage, debate and veneration for centuries, it is today a tangible testimony of one of the most decisive events of Western civilization, an object of extraordinary devotion since ancient times, kept with the utmost reverence as a tangible sign of the supreme act of divine love.
The Cross is the universal symbol of the Christian faith, representing martyrdom, sacrifice and the victory over sin and death. The relic embodies the Redemption of humanity, and every fragment is considered a channel of spiritual grace, a source of consolation and protection for those who entrust themselves to it. To venerate a fragment of the Holy Cross means to spiritually participate in the sacrifice of Christ, invoking strength in tribulations, unwavering faith and eternal hope.

Adequate packaging and insured express shipping are guaranteed.
