Theca with first-class relics of the Blessed Bernard of Offida, OFM, Abbot

Oval glass-fronted brass reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (from the bone) relics of the Blessed Bernard of Offida. The relics are affixed to a red silk background, surrounded by twisted silver wire ornamentation, and identified on a manuscript cedula label as S. Bernardi, Ab. O. (Saint Bernard, Abbot of Offida)On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured by a seal of red wax with a perfectly preserved imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Basilio Pompilj (†1931), Vicar General of Rome (1913-1931).

Blessed Bernard of Offida (†1694) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin from the Marche area. Peroni lived for the most part in servitude to his fellow friars in various capacities and he was noted for his strong Eucharistic dedication and for his holiness. He was beatified in mid-1795 and his feast day is commemorated on 23 August (Offida & O.F.M.).
