This original reliquary is crafted in the shape of a Tau cross, featuring intricate artistic indentations throughout. For early Christians, the letter TAU, being the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, symbolized the completion of revelation, redemption, and the second coming. Saint Francis was a tireless advocate for the significance of the Tau cross, often discussing its meaning in his speeches and using it as a signature in his letters. The TAU serves as a reminder of the profound Christian belief that our lives are redeemed through Christ's love for humanity.
The reliquaries available in the Holy City are crafted from brass, a robust material commonly used in the creation of liturgical items. Our collection offers a wide range of reliquaries in various sizes, shapes, and designs.
These brass liturgical items are made with meticulous attention to detail and are essential components of church and parish furnishings. A reliquary also makes an ideal gift for a priest, a token of appreciation for a pastor, a keepsake for a vicar, or a gesture of gratitude for administering a sacrament.
