1898 documented reliquary theca with a relics of St. Camillus de Lellis, Patron of the sick & doctors

Oval silver glass-fronted reliquary housing ex ossibus (of the bone) and ex fascia (of the bandage) relics of Saint Camillus de Lellis. The relics are affixed to a silk ground and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Ossibus // Ex Fascia // S. Camilli (of the bone and of the bandage of Saint Camillus [de Lellis]). The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued in 1898 by Joseph Sommavilla, Prefect General of the Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers of the Infirm at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Rome, where Saint's mortal remains are located. The reliquary is framed in an attractive period glass-fronted frame. 

Saint Camillus de Lellis, M.I., († 1614) was an Italian priest who founded a religious Order of Clerks Regular, Ministers of the Infirm (abbreviated as M.I.), better known as the Camillians dedicated to the care of the sick. Camillus was beatified by Pope Benedict XIV in the year 1742, and canonized by him four years later in 1746. His mortal remains are located in the altar in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Rome, along with several of his relics. He is a holy patron of the sick, hospitals, nurses, and physicians and is invoked to assist with gambling. His feast day is commemorated on July 14th.
