Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHRINE (Lat. scrinium, a case or chest for books, hence a casket; from scribere, to write, Fr. ecrin, Ital. scrigno) , the
term
  given to the repository or chest to hold sacred
relics
 . Sometimes shrines are merely small boxes, generally with raised tops like roofs; sometimes actual models of churches; some-times large constructions like that at St Albans, that of
Edward
  the Confessor at Westminster, of Ste
Genevieve
  at Paris, &c. Many are covered with jewels in the richest way, such as the example at St Taurin, at Evreux in Normandy, and that of San Carlo
Borromeo
 , at
Milan
 , of beaten silver; the largest
series
  are those which were enriched with enamels. Sometimes the
term
  is given to the
chapel
  in which the shrine is deposited.
