1784 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Jane Frances de Chantal, Founder of the Visitandines

Oval crystal-fronted silver reliquary theca housing the first-class ex carne (of a flesh) pre-canonization relic of Saint Jane Frances de Chantal. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as B. Joanae de Chantal (Blessed Jane [Frances] de Chantal).  On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Father Orazio Mattei (†?), Titular Archbishop of Colossae (1767-?). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by Archbishop Mattei in 1784. 

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal († 1641) was a French Roman Catholic Saint, who founded a religious order Congregation of the Visitation of Holy Mary (Visitandines). She was beatified on 21 November 1751 by Pope Benedict XIV, and canonized on 16 July 1767 by Pope Clement XIII. She is a patron of forgotten people; in-law problems; loss of parents; parents separated from children; and widows.
