A rare and precious gilded metal reliquary, dating from the first half of the 19th century, containing a Fragment of the Most Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus.
Its original episcopal wax seal is affixed to the back.
Most Holy Cross D.N.J.C. (Domini Nostri Jesu Christi):
A wooden fragment traditionally identified as part of the cross on which Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. Considered the most sacred of Christian relics, this fragment holds profound symbolic significance. The Most Holy Cross represents the culmination of the mystery of the Passion, Redemption, and Christ’s salvific sacrifice for humanity.
