Oval glass-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing the second-class ex habito (of the habit) relic of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a red silk ground, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Habi. S. Ma: Magd: de Pazzi (of the habit of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Gaetano Incontri (†1781), the Archbishop of Florence, Italy (p. 1741-1781).
Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, O.Carm. († 1607) was an Italian Carmelite nun and mystic. Numerous miracles allegedly followed de' Pazzi's death. She was beatified in 1626 and canonized in 1669 by Pope Clement IX. She is little known outside Italy, but her cult is very strong, especially in Florence. Her importance in the Mission to the East, especially in connection with India, has recently been explored. Her feast day is commemorated on May 25.
