Original reliquary in the shape of a Tau cross. The entire piece is adorned with artistic indentations. To the first Christians, the letter TAU, as the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, reminded them of the fulfillment of revelation, redemption, and the parousia. Saint Francis was an indefatigable promoter of the cult of the sign and the Tau cross. It was the Tau sign he spoke of in his speeches and used to sign his letters. TAU reminds us of the great Christian truth that our lives are redeemed by Christ's love for humanity.
Reliquaries available in the Holy City are made of brass, a durable material often used in the production of liturgical items. Our offer includes a wide selection of reliquaries with varied dimensions, forms, and designs.
Made with the utmost attention to detail, durable brass liturgical items are an indispensable part of church and parish equipment. A reliquary is also an ideal gift for a priest, a token for a pastor, a keepsake for a vicar, or a thank you for administering a sacrament.
