聖遺物 - Wood, Brass, Glass, Wax - 1850-1900 - 我らの主イエス・キリストの真の十字架

Devotional reliquary from the 19th century containing a relic Lignum Crucis (a fragment of the True Cross upon which Our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified). The relic is carefully preserved beneath glass and accompanied by its original identification label, attesting to its significance within the Christian tradition of relic veneration. The reverse of the reliquary displays an intact red wax episcopal seal, along with red silk threads, which assure the authenticity of the relic’s ecclesiastical origin. These elements remain undisturbed, affirming the relic’s preserved and original condition. Among all Christian relics, fragments of the Lignum Crucis have historically been regarded as some of the most sacred and venerated. According to ancient tradition, the True Cross was discovered in Jerusalem during the fourth century by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine. Since that time, portions of the Cross have been preserved and distributed throughout Christendom, where they became objects of profound devotion. As tangible witnesses to the Crucifixion and the central mystery of Christian redemption, relics of the True Cross have inspired prayer, pilgrimage, and veneration for centuries. The reliquary does not contain human remains This object is offered solely for its historical, cultural, or decorative value. No religious significance is claimed, implied, or endorsed.
