Title |
Reliquary of the Virgin and Saints |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This type of reliquary, sometimes called bursa or "purse-shaped," originated in Germany and Austria in the 13th century. On the back is a long inscription that lists all the relics once contained inside. In the Middle Ages, it was not unusual to combine many relics in one container, thereby increasing the number of saints who could potentially intercede to help answer the prayers of the faithful. |
