1910 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Scholastica, co-founder of Benedictine Monasticism
New Arrival
Oval glass-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Scholastica. The relic is affixed to a multicolor silk ground surrounded by gilt silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Scholasticae V. (Saint Scholastica, Virgin). 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 Archbishop St. Guido Maria Conforti (†1931), Bishop of Parma, Italy (1907-1931), who himself was canonized as a Saint in 2011 by Pope John Paul II on account of his life of heroic virtue. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Monsignor Conforti in 1910.
