1994 Documented reliquary theca with relic of Blessed Liberatus of Lauro

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of Blessed Liberatus of Lauro. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as B. Liberato (Blessed Liberatus [of Lauro]).  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 Order of the Friars Minor. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and signed in May 8, 1994 by the Postulator General of the Friars Minors responsible for the cause of beatification and canonization. 

Blessed Liberatus of Lauro (†1260) was a son of the wealthy Brunforte family who entered the Franciscan friary of Soffiano. Following his ordination as a Franciscan priest, he obtained permission from his superiors to live in solitude so as to devote himself totally to prayer and meditation. Liberatus became so deeply rapt in contemplation that he sometimes passed entire days without taking any food or sleep. His face when in ecstasy appeared radiant with light. On his deathbed, Liberatus spoke to his confreres of the joys of heaven. The place where his body rests was named San Liberato in his honor, and it has been the scene of many miracles. Pope Pius IX approved his veneration in 1868. His Feast Day is commemorated on September 6.
