2003 Documented reliquary theca with relics of Saints Justa, Justina, & Henedina, Martyrs of Cagliari

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relics of Saints Justa, Justina, and Henedina, Martyrs of CagliariThe relics are affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedulae labels as Ex Os. SS. VV. MM. Justae, Justinae, Hened. (from the bones of Sts. Justa, Justina, and Henedina, Virgin & Martyrs). On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Ottorino Pietro Alberti (†2012), the Archbishop of Cagliari (1987-2003). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by Monsignor Alberti on 3 February 2003.

Saints Justa, Justina, and Henedina (or Aenidina) of Cagliari (Italian: Giusta, Giustina ed Enedina) (†130) were, possibly, sisters venerated as Christian martyrs of Sardinia, who were put to death at Cagliari or possibly Sassari. The town of Santa Giusta in Sardinia is named after Justa, and the cathedral is dedicated to her. Their feast day is 14 May.
