Holy Relics

Thanks to this pair of props from Ugo Serrano I learned the difference between a reliquary and a monstrance.  A reliquary, also known as a phylactery or fereter, is a container or mount for a sacred relic.  A monstrance is an open or transparent reliquary.  

You learn something new every day.
