1988 documented theca with relic of St. Michael of the Saints (Michael de Sanctis), OSsT

Round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Michael de Sanctis. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Michael a Sanctis C. (Saint Michael de Sanctis, Confessor). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity and of the Captives (commonly known as the Trinitarians). The reliquary is accompanied by the facsimile of the authentics document issued by the Postulator General of the Order in 1988. 

Saint Michael de Sanctis (†1625), also known as St. Michael of the Saints, was a Discalced Trinitarian born in Catalonia, Spain. During his life, Michael de Sanctis led a life of prayer and mortification. He was devout towards the Holy Eucharist and is said to have experienced ecstasies several times during Consecration. He was beatified by Pope Pius VI in 1779 and later canonized by Pope Pius IX in 1862. In the Roman Martyrology, he is described as "remarkable for innocence of life, wonderful penitence, and love for God. His feast day is celebrated on 10 April.
