From skeletons to strips of cloth to little pieces of dust, reliquaries can be found in many forms, and while sometimes they may seem grotesque on their surface, they are nonetheless invested with great spiritual and memorial value. In this book, Cynthia Hahn offers the first full survey in English of the societal value of reliquaries, showing how they commemorate religious and historical events and, more important, inspire awe, faith, and, for many, the miraculous.

"This beautifully illustrated volume examines the cult of sacred relics in Baroque Malta in greater depth than ever before. It traces the origins of relic veneration and their arrival to Malta with the Knights of Order of St. John. The book discusses the importance of the reliquaries as an artistic expression of devotion to the holy remains, and the cult they instilled in the community that felt the need to reach to the divine in moments of great turbulence."--From backcover
