RELIC

A relic is an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest. The word comes from the Latin 'reliquiae' meaning 'remains.' In religious contexts, relics often refer to the physical remains of saints or items associated with holy figures, which were venerated in medieval times.
