Photo: St. David's Cathedral

An oak casket reliquary holding the reputed bones of St. David and other saints in the Holy Trinity Chapel of St. David's Cathedral. The reliquary is in the original pilgrim's recess.

The relics in this box were discovered in 1866, then sealed up and buried under the floor of the chapel. In 1920 they were moved into their present oak casket behind an iron grille.

See the next photo for more on the relics inside the box.
