Saint Pancras (Latin: Sanctus Pancratius) was a Roman citizen who converted to Christianity, and was beheaded for his faith at the age of fourteen, around the year 304. His name in Greek (Παγκράτιος) means "the one that holds everything" and he is venerated in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. From an early stage, Saint Pancras was venerated together with Saints Nereus and Achilleus in a shared feast day and Massformula on 12 May, but since 1969, Saint Pancras has been venerated separately, still on 12 May. Pancras is popularly venerated as the patron saint of children, jobs and health. His name is also invoked against cramps, false witnesses, headaches and perjury. His image in statue form can be found in many bars, restaurants and other businesses.
Round glass-fronted reliquary theca dating to 1927 housing first class ex ossibus (from the bone) relics of Saint Pancras, Martyr. The relics are affixed to a red silk background and identified on a typographic cedula as S. Pancratii M. (Saint Pancras, Martyr). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is protected by a seal of red wax with a perfectly preserved imprint of a coat of arms of cardinal Basilio Pompilj (†1931), Vicar General of the Roman Curia (1913-1931).
