New Arrival
Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, O.Carm.

Oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing the second-class ex Linteo (of the burial cloth) relic of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi. A sizable 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 Lint. S. M. Magd. d Paz. (of the burial cloth 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 an unidentified Roman Catholic Bishop.

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.
