Notas de uso
- Usually feminine: la reliquia, le reliquie. Don't confuse it with relitto, which means wreck or remains.
- For the container holding sacred remains, reliquiario is more common than using reliquia alone.
- Often used in religious, historical, or figurative contexts; everyday speech may prefer cimelio for a treasured old object.
