Saint James, the Apostle († 44 AD) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and traditionally considered the first apostle to be martyred. He is also called James the Greater or James the Great to distinguish him from James, son of Alphaeus and James the Just. James the Greater is the patron saint of Spain, and as such is often identified as Santiago. The traditional pilgrimage to his grave, known as the "Way of St. James", has been the most popular pilgrimage for Western European Catholics from the Early Middle Ages onwards, although its modern revival and popularity stems from Walter Starkie's 1957 book, The Road to Santiago. The feast day of St. James is celebrated on 25 July on the liturgical calendars of the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and certain Protestant churches and on 30 April in the Orthodox Christian liturgical calendar.
Small oval silver theca decorated on the outside by a twisted silver wire and housing first class ex ossibus relic of Apostle Saint James the Major. The relic is affixed to the background of red silk and identified on a scroll-shaped cedula as S. Jacobi Maj. On the back the theca is sealed by the red wax seal with a low imprint of a coat of arms of a Catholic Bishop.
