Saint Giuseppe Moscati (†1927) was an Italian doctor, scientific researcher, and university professor noted both for his pioneering work in biochemistry and for his piety. Moscati remained true to his faith his entire life, taking a vow of chastity and practicing charity in his daily work. He viewed his practice of medical science as a way of alleviating suffering, not as a way of making profits, and would retire regularly for prayer. He attended Mass daily, and would sometimes use a patient's faith, as well as the sacraments, in his treatments. He refused to charge the poor for their treatment and was known to sometimes send a patient home with a prescription and money in an envelope. Moscati was canonized by the Catholic Church in 1987; his feast day is 16 November.
Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Giuseppe Moscati. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Giuseppe Moscati (Saint Giuseppe Moscati). On the back, under the 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 (the Jesuit Order). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued in 1988 by the Postulator General of the Order.
