Saint Francis Antonio Fasani O.S.M. (†1742) was an Italian friar of the Order of Conventual Friars Minor who has been declared a saint by the Catholic Church. Fasani was known for having a deep life of prayer and was considered to be a mystic, becoming greatly in demand as a confessor and preacher. He constantly preached popular parish missions, gave retreats and led Lenten devotions and novenas - either in his own town or wherever he was requested. It was reported by his contemporaries that he would levitate while at prayer. At the same time, he was a steadfast friend of the poor, constantly seeking out the financial support necessary for efforts to meet their needs. He was beatified in 1951, and subsequently canonized in 1986. His feast day is celebrated by the Franciscan Order on 29 November.
Round glass-fronted white-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of Saint Francis Antonio Fasani. A relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as Ex Ossibus / B. Franc. A. Fasani (of the bone of the Blessed Francis Antonio Fasani). On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Postulator General of the Order of Servants of Mary (The Servite Order). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Order on 20 November 1989, only 3 years after his canonization.
