There is an Old English word 'Scrin' meaning a case for relics, taken from Latin 'scrinium' meaning a case for keeping papers. The exact origin is not known. The Middle English word developed into 'schrine' which is linked to German 'schrein' and Dutch 'schrijn'. There is also some connection with Old Norse 'skrin'.
