          Abstract

          Resumen Este artículo es una primera aproximación a la fragmentaria presencia de las reliquias en Santiago de Chile durante el periodo colonial, reflejada en documentos conventuales y testamentarios que dan cuenta de una existencia relativamente inactiva de estos restos sagrados, objetos visuales y materiales de intenso contenido sagrado. El texto describe la presencia mayoritaria de ligna crucis y la excepcional aparición de otros restos notables, lo que demuestra que la circulación de reliquias foráneas alcanzó la frontera austral del territorio hispano, en sintonía con el movimiento global de reliquias en el contexto de la Contrarreforma.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract This paper sketches an interpretive approach to the scarce presence of relics in Santiago de Chile during the Colonial period. Taking stock of conventual sources and of some testamentary dispositions, the article delineates the discreet life that those sacred remains (and their associated visual objects) led within the religious life of the era. Through the prevailing presence of the ligna crucis and the occasional advent of other pious remains, the text unveils the widespread dissemination that foreign relics enjoyed during the Counterreformation, which allowed them even to reach the southern border of the Hispanic Empire.
