thecae (reliquaries) (liturgical containers, ceremonial containers, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Receptacles of various types that contain holy relics. Usage has varied over time. In modern usage, the term refers to relatively small disc-shaped, glass-faced metal receptacles for relics, often designed so that they may be inserted into reliquary monstrances. In Early Christian usage, the term referred to cells or openings dug into walls to hold the corpse. For discs or clips that secure a host in a monstrance, use "lunettes (monstrance clips)."

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Houders van verschillende typen die heilige relikwieën bevatten. Het gebruik varieerde in de loop van de tijd. In modern gebruik verwijst de term naar relatief kleine schijfvormige, van glas en metalen gemaakte, recipiënten voor relikwieën, vaak zo ontworpen dat ze kunnen worden ingebracht in reliekmonstransen. In het Vroeg-christelijke gebruik verwijst de term naar cellen of openingen die in muren zijn gegraven om een lijk te bergen. Gebruik 'lunalas (houder)' voor schijven of clips die een hostie in een monstrans vastzetten. |
