Handsome Reliquary Cross, Crucifix, Germa Pectoral W/ 5 Saints & Agnus Dei, W/ Copy of COA, Dated 1959!
GERMAN PECTORAL RELIQUARY CROSS – With Agnus Dei & Relics of Five Saints
Dated 1959 – Silver-Tone Hinged Reliquary with Ebony Inlay, Pearl, COA Copy Included
This is a beautiful mid-20th century German pectoral reliquary crucifix, containing sacred relics sealed within a hinged cross form and accompanied by a copy of the original certificate issued by the Cistercian Nuns of St. Joseph’s Abbey in Thyrnau, Bavaria, dated October 20, 1959.
Inside the cross are five individual saints’ relics—each identified by handwritten labels—as well as Agnus Dei, a devotional wax tablet traditionally made from the Paschal candle blessed by the Pope. Relics are displayed against a vivid red groundcloth, decorated with filigree, glass jewels, and a central pearl-like cabochon.
The crucifix case is silver-tone metal, inset with ebony wood panels, and features an applied brass Corpus Christi and INRI scroll to the front. The construction suggests use as a pectoral devotional cross for clergy, monastics, or private veneration. Weight is 103.4 g inclusive of all materials.
📜 Contents Identified within the Cross
• Agnus Dei (wax from papal Paschal candle)
• St. Ursula
• St. Servilis / Servilius
• St. Leon? / Leonis (likely Saint Leon of Catania or Leon of Rome)
• Dei / Dom. (possibly unspecified “Dei” connection to Agnus Dei)
• Additional unidentified relic fragment
Hand-scroll labels appear original to the installation.
📏 Measurements

Width: approx. 2.5"
Weight: approx. 103.4 grams
Estimated Age & Purpose of Manufacture
Based on the issued certificate date, workmanship, and stylistic traits, this reliquary was most likely crafted circa 1950–1960, possibly earlier with relics installed and sealed in 1959.
Why This Type of Reliquary Was Made:
✔ Devotional use for clergy or religious orders
Likely worn by a priest or abbess, or kept in a chapel as an object of veneration.
✔ Souvenir or gift of spiritual significance
Many monasteries prepared reliquaries as gifts for donors, benefactors, or pilgrims.
✔ Preservation & distribution of relics
Post-WWII Germany saw renewed devotional production as religious communities rebuilt; relics were sometimes distributed to strengthen faith and support the Abbey.
✔ Personal bedside or travel crucifix
The size, weight, and hinge construction indicate intended use as a serious devotional item rather than casual jewelry.
The craftsmanship and official church documentation strongly suggest a legitimate monastic assembly rather than a later commercial piece.

Well holy moly!
Format: Kindle
Holy moly that story definitely had me hooked!
Kieran was definitely a character that I immediately adored. She has obviously had to deal with a butt load of too high expectations from her father (who is 🤬)..
She has been helpless when it came to finding out her affinity with so many years of no answers & perceived failure. When Ronan, gives her a small inkling of hope that she be a Beast Tamer, she jumps into it. But again she doesn’t seem to fit.
But when she runs into Gabe again, she ends up helping him & rethinking her life in Alfemir. And when the opportunity comes she decides leaving is the best option. But when Ronan demands he comes with her & then the random appearance of Bastian, she is feeling very overwhelmed.
After she chooses to fall with them, they land on earth exactly where Gabe is located only to run into Steele who is a person that I was finding hard to like.
After training, she eventually finds out she does have an affinity & it’s one that no longer exist & is incredibly powerful but also has a prophecy attached to it.
I feel incredibly bad for her on she learns about the prophecy & Steele’s connection with it too.
But that ending, with the battle scene & Niz….yeah definitely was not expecting that but hello I am all here for it too!
Absolutely amazing start of a series & I for sure will be waiting for the next one to come out.
Amazing job!

So good!
Format: Kindle
Wings of Stars was a fantastic first book to a new series. It grabbed me in its clutches within the first chapter and kept ahold of me.
This new world of M Sinclair and RL Caulder’s is all about angels and mythical creatures. It’s full of drama from all points. From Kieran’s awful home life to keeping the stars alive and everything in between.
Kieran is our FMC and despite everything she keeps her spirit and defiance.
Keeping to their norm, there is a group of guys for our FMC but they definitely aren’t established yet, and not fully cemented yet into being a group rather than her choosing between them.
Ronan is so sweet and gives off Daddy vibes
Gabe is also sweet and wants the best of everything for Kieran and will defend her against anyone
Bastian is slightly unhinged but I loved him immediately
Steele is a jerk… just as you find redeeming qualities, he screws up again… but yet I still want him to redeem himself.
There’s another one… but if I gave his name I would be spoiling a plot twist so you will just have to find out yourself… but you’ll love him as much as I do.
This is a slow burn but the little bit of spice we do get is hot, especially with the dirty talk.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book!
Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real.
Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests.
Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well.
Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights.
Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series.
I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol.
You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest.
I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.
