If the minor relics (that is to say all or part of a body provided that it is visible to the naked eye) are extremely numerous, the notable relics which leave us with a finger or part of a skull for example, are much rarer or even exceptional.
Our reliquary Monstrance hosts precisely one notable relic. It is carved in gilded and silvered wood, the baluster base is decorated with acanthus leaves, windings and a frieze of ova and darts, the upper part of a fretted shape is surmounted by a branch of lilies and a cross surrounded by glory. The set houses a set of relics resting on a purple velvet fabric laced with gold of Saint Ursula the Virgin Martyr.
