1993 Documented reliquary theca with relic of Blessed Florida Cevoli, patron of Abbesses

Round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of the Blessed Florida Cevoli The relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on typeset cedula label as Ex Ossibus // B. Floridae Cap. (of the bone of the Blessed Florida, Capuchin). 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 Fr. Pellegrino Tomaso Ronchi, Bishop of Città di Castello, Italy. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by Bishop Ronchi in 1993. 

Blessed Lucrezia Elena Cevoli (†1767) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious of the Capuchin Poor Clares who assumed the name of "Florida" after she joined religious life. She served as the order's abbess after the death of Veronica Giuliani. She devoted her energies to the maintenance of the order in Umbria and carried out her assigned tasks with zeal and diligence. She was beatified on 16 May 1993 by Pope John Paul II. She is a holy patron of Abbesses, and her Feastday is commemorated on 12 June.
