1974 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Teresa Jornet Ibars (of Jesus), founder of the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly

Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of St. Teresa Jornet Ibars O.C.D.S. (known as Saint Teresa of Jesus). 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 Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the Postulator General of the Order on 27 January 1974 (on the day of the Saint's canonization) and comes in the original silk-lined case of the issue containing a portrait of the Saint. 

Teresa Jornet Ibars (†1897), also known as Saint Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish Catholic professed religious and the founder of the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly. Her dedication to the old and ill was noted, and her sisters' work in Spain and later abroad. Her beatification was celebrated under Pope Pius XII on 27 April 1958 in Saint Peter's Basilica while Pope Paul VI later canonized her as a saint on 27 January 1974.
