Blessed Julien Maunoir (†1683) (also Juluan Maner) was a French-born Jesuit priest known as the "Apostle of Brittany". With his companion, Pierre Bernard, Maunoir worked among the poor, the peasants, and fishermen. Maunoir worked as a missionary to the Breton people for 43 years and managed to give a Christian meaning to what had become pious customs. According to some contemporaries, parishioners had to reserve an appointment for the confessional ten days in advance. Maunoir used to preach (which included dramatic performances) about the pains and torments of hell, after which the new converts fell into a panic and came to confess their sins en masse. By 1683, he had formed almost 1,000 Breton missionaries, carrying on the pastoral works he had begun. He was beatified in 1951 by Pope Pius XII and is commemorated by the Catholic Church on 29 January and 2 July.
Round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Blessed Julien Maunoir. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. Iuliani Maunoir (Blessed Julien Maunoir). 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 Society of Jesus (commonly known as the Jesuit Order). The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Postulator General of the Order in 1979.
