1991 Documented reliquary with relics of 3 Martyrs of Vietnam: St. Peter Almató Ribera, St. Valentine Berrio-Ochoa & St. Thomas Toan

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relics of three Catholic Martyrs of Vietnam: St. Peter Almató Ribera, St. Valentine Berrio-Ochoa & St. Thomas Toan. The relics are affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on typeset cedulae labels 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. Peter Almató Ribera († 1861) was a Spanish Dominican priest and martyr who joined the Dominican Order and was sent as a missionary to Vietnam. He was martyred in 1861 during the anti-Christian persecutions under Emperor Tự Đức, beheaded for his faith in Tonkin (modern-day Vietnam). He is one of the Vietnamese Martyrs, canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1988. His feast day is November 24, celebrated with the Vietnamese Martyrs.

St. Valentine Berrio-Ochoa († 1861) was a Dominican priest and missionary who became the Bishop of Tonkin, Vietnam. He was martyred by beheading in 1861 alongside other missionaries, including Peter Almató, during the same persecutions. He is also one of the Vietnamese Martyrs, canonized in 1988, with a feast day on November 24.

St. Thomas Toan (†1861), also known as Thomas Nguyễn Văn Thiện, was a native Vietnamese catechist who worked to spread the Catholic faith. Arrested during the persecutions, he faced pressure to apostatize but repented his initial weakness and remained steadfast. He was flogged and left to die of exposure in 1840. He is one of the Vietnamese Martyrs, canonized in 1988, with a feast day on November 24.
