Saint Martín de Porres Velázquez, O.P., (†1639) was a Peruvian lay brother of the Dominican Order who was beatified in 1837 by Pope Gregory XVI and canonized in 1962 by Pope John XXIII. He was noted for his work on behalf of the poor, establishing an orphanage and a children's hospital. He maintained an austere lifestyle, which included fasting and abstaining from meat. Among the many miracles attributed to him were those of levitation, bilocation, miraculous knowledge, instantaneous cures, and an ability to communicate with animals. He is the patron saint of mixed-race people, barbers, innkeepers, public health workers, and all those seeking racial harmony. His feast day is commemorated on November 3.

Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Martin de Porres, patron saint of mixed-race people & barbers
Round gilt silver reliquary theca decorated around the perimeter with filigree and housing a precious first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of St. Martin de Porres. The relic is affixed to a red silk background and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as B. Martini de Porres C. (the Blessed Martin de Porres, Confessor). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly-preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Clemente Micara (†), Vicar General of Rome (1951-1963) and Pro-Prefect of the Congregation of Sacred Rites responsible for Canonization of Saints (1953-1963). The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed by Monsignor Micara in 1953.
