Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Oval glass-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing first-class ex pelle pedis (of the skin from the foot) relic of Saint Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Pelle Pedis S. Annae Mart. // B.V.M. (of the skin from the foot of Saint Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775).

 Saint Anne was the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus according to apocryphal Christian and Islamic tradition. She is a holy patron of Canada, carpenters; childless people; equestrians; grandparents; homemakers/housewives; lacemakers; lost articles; Fasnia (Tenerife); Mainar; Detroit; miners; mothers; moving house; old-clothes dealers; poverty; pregnancy; seamstresses; stablemen; sterility; mothers; and children.
