Selected
feretory or bier
Si usa tanto per la bara che contiene le reliquie in un contenitore chiuso durante la processione, quanto nel senso di reliquario immobile dentro di una cappella. Per i santi, ho visto anche "bier", benchè avrei pensato questo fosse piuttosto per i cadaveri.

http://www.firebirdvideos.com/articles/whyrelics.htm
Customarily, after a holy person has been glorified as a saint, either locally or universally, the relics of the saint are placed in a large coffin or casket-like reliquary, which sometimes can be quite ornate, and carried in a grand procession to a new place of honor, often in the main cathedral, that is readily accessible to people to venerate the saint's relics. (This "transferring of relics" is commonly translated in English as the "translation of the relics.")

c'e' anche la parola "trestle" (o "trestle table") che traduce precisamente il termine latino "vara"

Discussion

On that occasion, the asker decided to use "Vara" as a proper noun. You could do the same with "Bara" or use a descriptive term ("platform" or "bier", not "reliquary").
Best,
Gi
