These signed certificates record the church authorities’ identification and sealing of relics. Each names the saint, describes the fragment and the case in which it was enclosed, and sets out permissions for its keeping or public veneration. Handwritten details and official seals make each sheet a record of a particular occasion of issue.
Each certificate comes with a printed card giving the original text and an English translation. Choose a certificate from the list. These are historical documents; no relic is included, and a certificate does not authenticate any relic with which it may later be paired.
