Arch-Reliquary of Saint Victor

In the Royal Collections of Spain, this piece is preserved in gold, silver and golden silver, with enamel applications and hard stones.

Known as the "Arch-Relicary of Saint Victor," it arrived in Spain as the dowry of Archduchess Anne of Austria (2 November 1549 – 26 October 1580), daughter of Emperor Maximilian II of Austria (31 July 1527 – 12 October 1576) and Infanta Anne of Austria (21 June 1528 – 26 February 1603), who married her uncle King Philip II (21 May 1527 - 13 September 1598) in 1584.

Created by the famous German plater, Wenzel Jamnitzer (1507/1508 – 19 December 1585), it was initially thought of as a bridal ark or jewelry box.

Later, the Queen had the relics of Saint Victor kept in and donated to the Royal Monastery of the Royal Barefoot in Madrid, where several ladies of the House of Austria lived.

Diseased Relicary

Weird autopsies

An mild ailment corroded the streets of Arca two decades ago. The fevers were believed to be contracted throught the ingestion of contaminated fish and water. The vercals, renown healers, rose to power to ensure it wouldnt erradicate the city, but it ended making it worse. Health potions administered by Saint Trina's order were only capable of stopping the synthoms for a few days, and then they returned and so on. Anger festered in the streets, as only a few were able to afford such care and any attempts to replicate or look for a cure outside the order were crushed just as the poison filled vials between the teeths of their perpretators.

Queen Consuelo Vercal herself got the infection, but she endured years, for the monarch had the saints beside her. As the queen stood proudly on Arca Altus tall towers, the city withered at her feet. And another disease took the city: rebellion.

Only when the queen stepped down and took off the crown, as a final act of martydom, the plague was expelled from the city's lungs. The Nerón family then swore to legislate towards peace so the city could recover, not just from the epidemy, but also from the deep wounds that divided it.

The disease is now known as the Saltpeter fevers, due to its origin in the salty waters of the estuary, and the white residue pilling around the mouths of the ill. Just a few medics and forensic were able to see where it came from.

Agatha's relicary is interesting. Relicaries are not bought for oneself, they are given as gifts.It usually represents love and memory. I wonder if the lock of hair was Nick Scratch's or Rio Vidal's.

This will be a long post, so grab some tea loves, spiritual folk of tumblr help me on this one.

So since I was like 16 I dream of this little girl, vividly like she was standing in front of me in flesh. She is not bad, but I wanted to understand better

In my dreams the only thing that changed once was the color of her dress. But was in a different scenario. But mostly she is around 8, small has blond to redsh hair, light brown eyes almost the same shad as the hair, pale complexion, and a heart shapped face. Also she often wears long sleeved dresses with fluid fabric and a relicary necklace.

The first dream I had with her she appered in front of my place while I was walking home, and she grabed my hand asking if I knew who she was, cause she knew me, and missed me, while she proceded to hug my waist. In this dream she asked me to put the bows back on her hair, I woke up when I started to do it in the dream, and her hair started to look wet, and her skin too cold, and smeeled like sea.On this one she was wearing a baby blue dress, and had bows in her hair, also handed me more of then.

On the next times the dreams are shorter and have a space of time between then but always the same she showed, hugged me, asked me if I remmenbered her and sayed was just a visit. But along the years she seen more and more like a drowened person, and everytime I woke feeling the wet of her on my skin and the smell of sea.

This last one felt weird, cause in my dream I was laying in my place and there was a storm out, and someone knocked on the door, my mom sayed for me not to, but I got up to open and when I did ahe was there, holding hands with a man, the man said that I was allowed to come closer, talk and touch her myself even before her do it.

So in the rest of this dream I did told I wanted to see her, and I touched, looked what her features, kneeled to be at her level, she repeated the same phrase to me, but all I could say is that she was familiar, but the moment I tried to open her necklace to see the pic inside the man stoped me, and sayed the visit was over and was time to go. So I woke up right after she left me and the men took her through the rain.

The scariest part was this time she was completely soaked her hair, her clothes, her hands felt cold, the skin look purplelish and the veins and other stuff look like there was no blood, the eyes looked like she was dead a long time, and I could see scraps on her hands and arms. In my mind during the whole dream when she asked me if I knew her all I could muster was you drowened, and that I couldn't find her.

So when I woke the sun was rising, I felt the smell of the sea again, but to my surprise my mom also dreamed of her, I always described to my mom but she had never saw it herself. Idk what happened I made a prayer in the intention of whoever was that kid, but is a weird felling.

CARDONA-PINTURA-ART-SANTS MARTIRS-CRIPTA-RELICARIS-MISTICA-HISTORIA-ESGLESIA-SANT MIQUEL-PAISATGES-INTERIORS-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS por Ernest Descals Por Flickr: CARDONA-PINTURA-ART-SANTS MARTIRS-CRIPTA-RELICARIS-MISTICA-HISTORIA-ESGLESIA-SANT MIQUEL-PAISATGES-INTERIORS-PINTOR-ERNEST DESCALS- En el interior de la cripta de la Església de Sant Miquel de Cardona, he podido pintar otro los paisajes interiores que me entusiasman, unas pequeñas urnas que contienen los restos de los Santos Mártires, els SANTS MARTIRS, que cuentan las leyendas fueron ajusticiados en Calahorra en tiempos del Imperio Romano en Hispania y posteriomente devueltos en sus bellos relicarios a la iglesia del pueblo de CARDONA, pueblos de la Comarca del Bages en la provincia de Barcelona, Catalunya Central, bajo una luz eminentemente mística se hallan adosados al fondo de la pared central, el objeto en sí mismo resulta de pequeñas dimensiones, pero he querido mostrarlo ocupando toda la pintura para disfrutar de sus detalles y sobre todo plasmando en la obra sus efectos mágicos sobre los escogidos visitantes que pueden contemplarlo. Formando un mundo propio, las Reliquias adquieren toda la importancia en su atmósfera histórica y religiosa, el uso de las luces es el que he creído más oportuno para embellecer al máximo este asombroso detalle en una población que es conocida por su imponente castillo, pero que se demuestra capaz de albergar tantos otros tesoros. Pinturas del artista pintor Ernest Descals sobre papel de 50 x 70 centímetros, pintando las joyas escondidas.
