question
True Cross of Christ
answer
In the late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance, there was a wide general acceptance of the origin of this and its history preceding the Crucifixion, as recorded by Voragine. This general acceptance is confirmed by the numerous artworks that depict this subject, culminating in one of the most famous fresco cycles of the Renaissance, the Legend of [This] by Piero della Francesca, painted on the walls of the chancel of the Church of San Francesco in Arezzo between 1452 and 1466, in which he reproduces faithfully the traditional episodes of the story as recorded in The Golden Legend.
question
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
answer
The Franciscan friars renovated it further in 1555, as it had been neglected despite increased numbers of pilgrims. The Franciscans rebuilt the Aedicule, extending the structure to create an ante-chamber. After the renovation of 1555, control of the church oscillated between the Franciscans and the Orthodox, depending on which community could obtain a favorable firman from the Sublime Porte at a particular time, often through outright bribery, and violent clashes were not uncommon. There was no agreement about this question, although it was talked about it at the negotiations to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. In 1767, weary of the squabbling, the Porte issued a firman that divided the church among the claimants. A fire severely damaged the structure again in 1808, causing the dome of the Rotunda to collapse and smashing the Edicule's exterior decoration. The Rotunda and the Edicule's exterior were rebuilt in 1809-1810 by architect Nikolaos Ch. Komnenos of Mytilene in the then current Ottoman Baroque style. The fire did not reach the interior of the Aedicule, and the marble decoration of the Tomb dates mainly to the 1555 restoration, although the interior of the ante-chamber, now known as the Chapel of the Angel, was partly re-built to a square ground-plan, in place of the previously semi-circular western end.
question

answer

question
relics
answer
In the RCC and Greek Orthodox Church, the body, a part of the body, or some personal memorial of a saint, martyr, or other sacred person, preserved as worthy of veneration in special reliquaries, sometimes used to consecrate altars. An antimension would be one of these woven into a cloth, again, mostly used to consecrate a church's altar. Some examples of famous relics fought over in the Middle Ages and Renaissance between various conquering armies are the True Cross of Christ, the Shroud of Turin, and the Crown of Thorns.
