Having arrived in Terni in past centuries through donations or events related to prelates and pilgrims, the relic has been kept in the Cathedral as one of the city's most precious spiritual treasures.

The connection with the community: Over the centuries, the people of Terni have entrusted themselves to the intercession of the Most Precious Blood in times of grave difficulty, such as epidemics, famines, and natural disasters. This profound venation has grown to become a cornerstone of the city's religious identity.

The September Feast Every year, in mid-September, the Cathedral solemnly celebrates the Feast of the Most Precious Blood, organizing both civil and religious events.
