A reliquary, a sacred object used in Catholic worship, is a container holding relics—usually the remains of saints or other holy figures. They vary widely in appearance, from simple boxes to ornate, jeweled caskets. Reliquaries are used in liturgy, often during processions or special masses. Their symbolic meaning represents the holiness contained within, connecting the faithful to the life and sanctity of the individuals enshrined. The physical object serves as a tangible manifestation of faith.
