Lentorama 2013: There's a Name for That
Day 32: lipsanotheca
Sticking with reliquaries, this is the name for the box that actually holds the relics inside the larger box. Why it needs a name is an excellent question. I have nothing to add to this, other than to note that some examples of reliquaries may actually have been the box inside the box. Woo hoo.
