Reliquary - Brass - 1850-1900 - Holy Cross & Crown of...

Brass reliquary from a period between the late 19th and early 20th century, with the original protective glass. Inside, on a red fabric background, is arranged an elegant composition of paperolles framing a rich collection of relics of the Passion of Christ and of Saints linked to the Passion of Christ: In the center: Fragment of the Lignum Crucis (Wood of the Holy Cross) inserted on a small crucifix. Relics of the Passion: Ex Spina D.N.J.C. (Crown of Thorns), Ex Spongia D.N.J.C. (Sponge of the Passion). Marian and Saint Relics: Ex Velo V.M. Dolorosae (Veil of the Virgin of Sorrows), Ex Velamine S. Helenae Imp. (Saint Helena Empress), Ex Pallio S. Petri Ap. (Saint Peter the Apostle), Ex Tunica S. Joannes Ap. (Saint John the Apostle), Ex Mantello S. Pauli Ap. (Saint Paul the Apostle), Ex Spelunca S. M. Magdalenae (Saint Mary Magdalene). The back is sealed with an ecclesiastical seal in intact red wax. The Saints depicted are key figures of the Gospel narrative and the history of the Cross: the Virgin of Sorrows, John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene directly witnessed Calvary at the foot of the Cross; Peter experienced the drama of betrayal and repentance during the hours of the Passion; Paul placed the mystery of the Cross at the center of his apostolate; Empress Saint Helena is historically linked to the Finding (discovery) of the Relics of the Passion in Jerusalem. The reliquary does not contain human remains. This object is offered exclusively for its historical, cultural, or decorative value. No religious significance is claimed, implied, or endorsed. Over time, some elements of the reliquary may have been modified or restored.
