Французкий реликварий с реликвией Истинного Креста, Страстей и Рождества Христова
A richly decorated silver reliquary monstrance surmounted by a cross and housing in the central glass-fronted cavity a precious relic of the True Cross of Jesus Christ (SS. Crucis D.N. = the Most Holy Cross of Our Lord) surrounded by five relics of the Christ's Life and Passion: of the Column of Flagellation (Ex Colum. Flag.), of the Thorn from the Crown of Thorns (SS. Coron. Spinae D.N.), of the Empty Tomb of Christ (Ex. Sepul. D.N.), of the Christ's Bandages (ex Fascia D.N.J.C.), and of the Nativity Grotto (Ex Praecepio D.N.). On the back, under a removable cap, the relics are secured by an undisturbed seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Jean-Augustin Germain (†), Cardinal Archbishop of Toulouse, France (1899–1928). The reliquary is hallmarked by a French Minerva sterling silver (950/1000) purity mark and a maker's mark of silversmith Favier in Lyon, a famous maker of French liturgical silver.
