Description from the seller
Object: Reliquary Ex Mensa D.NJ.C.
Composition: Silver 0.900
Origin: Italy, private collection
Period: Second half of the 18th century
Rare and precious crystal of Rocca and silver reliquary from the second half of the 18th century, containing inside a fragment of Ex Mensa of our Lord Jesus Christ, a wooden fragment of the table where Jesus Christ's Last Supper with the Apostles took place.
The reliquary is sealed with its own Episcopal wax seal.
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.
Measurements: 3.5 x 3 x 0.5 cm
This object is offered for its decorative, historical, and cultural qualities. Some elements of the reliquary may have been modified or restored over time, and the authenticity of any relics it contains cannot be guaranteed.
