Reliquary theca with a relic of Blessed Bartolo Longo, the Apostle of the Rosary

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of the Blessed Bartolo Longo. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. Barth. Longo.  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 the Postulator General of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (better known as the Redemptorists). 

Blessed Bartolo Longo (†1926) was an Italian lawyer and a former Satanic priest who returned to the Catholic faith and became a third order Dominican, dedicating his life to the Rosary and the Virgin Mary. He was eventually awarded a papal knighthood of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. On October 26, 1980, he was beatified by Pope John Paul II, who would call him the "Apostle of the Rosary" and mentioned him specifically in his apostolic letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae" (The Rosary of the Virgin Mary).
