Here is an interesting wooden cross adorned with mother-of-pearl, finely engraved with the instruments of the Passion. It is decorated with a relic of the True Cross.
The reliquary is made of wood from Gethsemane, the place where Jesus prayed before his arrest.
Adding to the value of this devotional object, at the base of the cross is an inscription "S. DE BETH LEEM," designating a second relic, likely a fragment of stone or wood from Bethlehem.
The back depicts the 14 Stations of the Cross.
The relic has its precious episcopal certificate dated 1848.
Dimensions: 30 cm x 18 cm.
In good condition, although two small mother-of-pearl pieces are missing.
For those who are sensitive to it, this reliquary emanates a powerful energy.
