EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Reliquary containing the hand of St. Attalia, a revered figure from the 8th century. Crafted between the 12th and 15th centuries, this masterpiece is made of copper, gilded silver, and rock crystal by the skilled hands of French artisans. Measuring at an impressive size of 43.5x16 cm, this relic resides in the Church of St. Madeleine in Strasbourg, France. The reliquary holds great historical significance as it preserves not only a tangible piece but also symbolizes devotion to St. Attalia. St. Attalia herself was a remarkable individual; she served as both a nun and Abbess at St. Stephens Church in Strasbourg during her lifetime (c. 697-741). Her remains were carefully preserved within this sacred object for centuries. The intricate design features elements such as a cross and crucifix that further emphasize its religious importance. This relic serves as a powerful reminder of medieval times when relics held immense spiritual value for believers. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the veneration bestowed upon St. Attalia's bones - an enduring testament to faith and reverence that continues to inspire awe even today.
