Description from the seller
Reliquary of the Passion of Christ, Most Holy Cross D.N.J.C.
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.
The Cross is the universal symbol of the Christian faith, representing martyrdom, sacrifice, and victory over sin and death; it embodies the Redemption of humanity. Each fragment is considered a channel of spiritual grace, a source of comfort and protection for those who turn to it.
Venerating a fragment of the Most Holy Cross means spiritually participating in Christ’s sacrifice, drawing strength in times of tribulation, unwavering faith, and eternal hope.
Dimensions: 5 x 3.5 x 1 cm
Careful packaging and insured express shipping are guaranteed.
