In the Canterbury Tales, the Pardoner's Tale features a relic of a saint's bones wrapped in a piece of cloth. The inscription on the cloth reads "Radix malorum est cupiditas," which translates to "greed is the root of all evil." This relic serves as a key symbol in the tale's exploration of themes related to greed and sin.
