Saint Cyprian (†258) was a bishop of Carthage and an early Christian Martyr who is recognized as a saint in the Western and Eastern churches. Soon after converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime, his strong pastoral skills, firm conduct during the Novatianist heresy and outbreak of the Plague of Cyprian (named after him due to his description of it), and eventual martyrdom at Carthage established his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church. His skillful Latin rhetoric led to his being considered the pre-eminent Latin writer of Western Christianity until Jerome and Augustine. The Roman Catholic Church and the Lutherans celebrate his feast on September 16. The Eastern Orthodox Church commemorates him on August 31.
1991 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Cyprian of Carthage, patron of North Africa
Round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relics of Saint Cyprian of Carthage.

On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Camillo Ruini in the capacity of the Vicar General of Rome. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1991 by Fr. Ruini.
