1991 Documented reliquary with relics of St. Antoninus of Florence, St. Raymond of Penyafort & St. John Macias

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex carne (of the flesh) relics of three Catholic Saints: St. Antoninus of Florence, St. Raymond of Penyafort & St. John Macias. The relics are affixed to a blue silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedulae labels as S. Antonin, E.C. // S. Raym. Penn. C. // S. Joan. Mass. (St. Antoninus, Bishop & Confessor // St. , St. Raymond of Penyafort, Confessor // St. John Macias).  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 the Dominican Order. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1991 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the Causes of Canonization. 

St. Antoninus of Florence († 1459) was a Dominican friar who became the Archbishop of Florence in 1446. Known for his pastoral zeal, service to the poor, and expertise in canon law, he founded the priory of San Marco in Florence, which was decorated by Fra Angelico. He authored the Summa Moralis and established a charitable society under St. Martin of Tours. His feast day is May 10.

St. Raymond of Penyafort († 1275) was a Dominican friar and a renowned canon lawyer. He served as the third Master of the Dominican Order and is credited with compiling the Decretals of Gregory IX, a key collection of canon law. He is also known for his missionary work and defense of the faith. He wrote one of the first manuals for user of the inquisitors, the Directorium Inquisitoriale (1242). His feast day is January 7.

St. John Macias († 1645) was a Spanish-born Dominican friar who evangelized in Peru. Born in 1585 in Ribera, Spain, he was orphaned young and worked as a shepherd before emigrating to Lima, Peru. In 1623, he joined the Dominican Order at the priory of St. Mary Magdalene, serving as a porter for 22 years. Known for his charity toward the poor and devotion to the rosary, he lived contemporaneously with St. Martin de Porres and St. Rose of Lima in Lima. His feast day is September 18.
