Description from the seller
Reliquary of the Most Holy Cross in rock crystal and solid silver
Wonderful and precious reliquary in rock crystal and solid silver (acid-tested) dating 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 stored its own seal in Episcopal sealing wax.
The reliquary is composed entirely in antique silver, featuring refined and carefully crafted motifs.
Most Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ (D.N.J.C.):
A wooden fragment traditionally identified as part of the cross on which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. Considered the most sacred among Christian relics, this fragment holds a powerful symbolic value. The Most Holy Cross represents the culmination of the mystery of the Passion, of the Redemption, and of Christ’s salvific sacrifice for humanity.
The Cross is the universal symbol of the Christian faith, embodying martyrdom, sacrifice, and victory over sin and death; it embodies the Redemption of humanity. Each fragment is regarded as a channel of spiritual grace, a source of consolation and protection for those who entrust themselves to it.
To venerate a fragment of the Most Holy Cross means to spiritually participate in the sacrifice of Christ, calling forth strength in tribulations, unwavering faith, and eternal hope.
Measurements: 5 x 2 x 1 cm
A precise insured express shipping packing is guaranteed.
