Description
This rare and precious ex-ossibus reliquary holds sacred relics of Saint Cornelius and Saint Remigius. Saint Cornelius, a Pope and Martyr, led the Church during a time of intense persecution in the 3rd century. His papacy was marked by a strong stance on the reintegration of those who had lapsed in faith. Saint Remigius, a 5th-century bishop, famously baptized Clovis I, King of the Franks, leading to the Christianization of France.
Encased in a traditional brass reliquary, the relics are sealed with red wax that bears the official ecclesiastical insignia, ensuring the authenticity of these sacred items. The relics themselves are finely preserved on a gold fabric background adorned with decorative motifs. The names of the saints are hand-inscribed in Latin: “S. Corneliu Pap. M.” and “S. Remigii Ep.”, adding a personal and historical touch to this devotional object.
The front of the reliquary presents a clear, secure glass covering to preserve and display the relics in pristine condition. This extraordinary piece is perfect for any collector of holy artifacts or those who seek to keep a piece of Church history close to heart. Whether displayed in a home chapel or part of a museum collection, this relic honors two pivotal figures in Christian history.
