At the end of the 1980s, the cathedral received a relic of the hip bone of St. Birgitta from the Birgittine sisters. A modern reliquary was created for this purpose and is located in the Finsta choir. The design of the shrine is inspired by the habit of the Order of the Redeemer. The five red drops of blood symbolize the five wounds of Christ. Birgitta's parents and siblings are also buried in the choir. The shrine of Saint Erik is also located here, which is why the cathedral is also called Erik's Cathedral.
