LARGE FILIGREE LOCKET RELIQUARY

WITH A RELIC OF THE HOLY SHROUD OF TURIN, BURIAL CLOTH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

Rome, ca. 1750

A wonderful piece from the private collection of a Tuscan nobleman who spent his life collecting relics and investigating the Turin Shroud:

A large locket reliquary, nearly 4 inches in height (90 mm), surrounded by filigree silver spirals, coming with an original leather box from this period with red silk inside, perfectly sealed with the red wax seal of a Roman Curia Bishop with the threads intact.

Inside, surrounded by golden fleur-de-lil decoration, placed on a white representation of the Shroud itself, is the rarest and most precious relic of Our Lord: A long thread (10 mm or 2/5 inches in length) of the Holy Shroud of Turin!

Of the Holy Shroud of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Holy Shroud is considered the most important relics of Christianity. Its existence is documented since the 6th century, when it was venerated in Edessa/Syria. According to the legend, the Apostle St. Jude Thaddeus (Addai in the local Aramaic dialect) brought it to the North Syrian city to be protected by king Abgar V., the first king in history who embraced Christianity and was baptized by the Apostle. In 944, it was brought to Constantinople, where it was depicted in the "Codex Pray" and described in the homilies of the Patriarchs and the reports of visitors. In 1204, during the 4th Crusade, it was stolen by the French knight Othon de la Roche from its reliquary in the Imperial Palace Chapel and brought to France via Athens. Since 1357, it was first venerated in Lirey/Champagne, then in Chambery before it was brought to Turin/Italy by the Savoy Dynasty in 1598. It was exposed the last time in April/May 2010, when Pope Benedict XVI visited Turin and prayed in front of it.The Turin Shroud, as it was called ever since, is probably the most carefully investigated historical object ever. Even state-of-the-art scientists have no explanation for the mysterious negative image, obviously created by a strong emission of light, "burned" into the linen. The only logical conclusion is that this happened during His glorious resurrection.

As per Ebay's new rules, this item is allowed as it contains no human remains but objects of devotion; the relic is of linen. Please note that you bid on the precious antique reliquary, the relics are a gift to the High Bidder. Please contact me if you have any questions.
