September 14, - Feast of the Exultation of the Most Holy Cross

Reliquary Containing a Relic of the True Cross

 

 

Gold Plated Silver Filigree. Measures 5" long. It the gilding was preserved because it is always kept in its custom box. This one came from an estate of a priest in Quebec.

 

If you are viewing this photo using MacBook Pro 13" then what you are seeing is the actual size of this reliquary. Yes, it is kind of huge!

This relic of the Cross of our Lord is the one enshrined in our private altar while the other two relics of the Cross of our Lord round around from house to house in Winnipeg.

 

btw, you might be interested watching this VIDEO from youtube about the art of Filigree.

 

 

If you live in Winnipeg, MB CANADA, and want to venerate or want the relics to visit your house, don't hesitate to email me at ---> friendsofsanroque@hotmail.com
