I changed the permission on the album as i cant upload the files they are too big.

 

So, it seems as though this would be a piece of bone from the holy woman set into a medallion so the faithful can have their own bit of the saint. The fact that the part in English is signed by a "promoter" is worrisome. The sale of relics is forbidden. If they were truly chipping up her remains to sell, there'd soon be nothing left. I am highly skeptical of this item.

 

Yes this is the kind of information i am looking for, my father bought this at a car boot sale in Ireland, does it have any value ? i searched throughout the internet and could not find another one anywhere.

 

I'm sure it's not one of a kind, but the faithful may find it desirable....although ...maybe not for much more than your Dad paid for it.

 

I found so many relic medallions with parts of her bones that if true....there must not be anything left of her at all....



A couple are from the Etsy site............so look there or maybe eBay .

 

Those things were common. They even used to send that type of holder out with the "here's a trinket please send us some money" begging letters. There might be a fleck of skin in the glue matrix in that thing, but not much more.

 

Thank you guys, still cant seem to find the exact one i have anywhere

 

You have to ask yourself why the Church would allow the sale of relics to anyone. Did they sneak into the graveyard at night and dig up the body? I would bet that this is a total fake.

 

probably.

 

I'm not sure about a fake. The fancier were gifts in exchange for a donation, most of the time. Technically the relic wasn't sold.
