Le reliquaire est un petit pendentif qui contient parfois des reliques des saints: os, dents, pieces de vetements. En Amerique Latine, les reliquaires sont avant tout des peintures miniatures ou la sculpture d'un saint. Souvent, le reliquaire est compose de deux faces egalement decorees.

En las Americas, los relicarios son estuches de doble cara con la imagen de la Virgen, Cristo o un santo favorito en su interior �un grabado, una pinturita, una talla de alto o bajorrelieve� protegida con un vidrio o cristal de roca que permite ver la imagen. Rara vez contienen reliquias de los santos. Los relicarios que se encuentran en las Americas con reliquias son mas bien importados de Europa, sobre todo de Roma.

EnglishGeorge Kubler and other historians of Latin America, has suggested that in the Americas, the miscegenation between aspects of the material European culture and that of the aborigens evolved towards artistic styles that already are neither European nor indigenous, but slightly new. In the Americas, reliquaries are lockets of double face with the image of the Virgin, Christ or a favorite saint in his interior �an engraving, a painting, an image� protected under glass or rock crystal. Few times contain relics of the saints. In the Americas the reliquaries with relics are European imports, especially of Rome.

Only elites could obtain relics for their relicarios. Gradually, the term was symbolic, the two sided pendants containing religious prints, miniature paintings or sculptures in a variety of materials rather than saints' relics. Egan's book, her second on the topic, includes chapters on escudos de monjas (nuns' badges), escudos Betlemitas (hospital monks' badges), Agnus Dei, silversmithing, miniature painting, relicarios from Copacabana, Bolivia, and contemporary relicarios. The limited edition, printed and bound in Italy, contains two hundred illustrations, most not previously published.

Although rumors attributed the cross's erection to Saint Thomas or Saint Andrew, in all likelihood it was raised by Fray Martín de Valencia, one of the "Twelve Franciscan Apostles" greeted by Hernán Cortés in Veracruz in 1524. Word of the miraculous cross spread as far away as Peru. Believers cut splinters from the cross, reducing it to the extent where the Bishop of Antequera (Oaxaca), Juan de Cervantes, ordained 1608, ordered the cross removed to Oaxaca's Metropolitan Cathedral, where it remains in the Capilla a la Santa Cruz de Huatulco. A rare few reliquaries, especially in Puebla, contain splinters of the cross.
