Мощи — слово более употребительное, чем прямой перевод реликвия, но более узкое по значению.
G
Christian relic -- the corpse of a
saint, or any part thereof; any part of his clothing; or anything ultimately
connected with him. The veneration of Christian relics goes back to the 2nd
cent. and led to many spurious relics being brought back from the Holy Land.
Miracle-working relics brought wealth to many monasteries and churches. [BD]
