From the table of Our Lord Jesus Christ:

Relic called Ex Mensa D.N.J.C., consisting of a fragment of material traditionally associated with the table used by Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The term 'mensa' evokes the banquet table, symbolically linked to the Last Supper, a foundational moment of the Eucharist.
In Christian symbolic language, the table represents the place of communion, sharing, and the total gift of Christ, who offers Himself as the Bread of life. This devotion evokes the mystery of the Eucharist, the fraternity among the faithful, and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharistic sacrifice.
La Ex Mensa is revered as a symbol of unity, spiritual nourishment, and communion with the Lord, highlighting the centrality of love and service in Christian life.
