In New Foundations, can you hold a relic facedown so that it is discarded rather than stolen?

One player describes the facedown option; the other reply only confirms relics cannot be discarded voluntarily.

Yes. In New Foundations, a relic can be held facedown, so that when another player raids you it is discarded rather than stolen. You still cannot discard a relic voluntarily.
