1795 Документированный Мощевик с мощами Св. Кандиды Римской мученицы
Oval glass-fronted silvered brass reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Candida, Martyr of Rome. A substantial relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Ossibus S. Candidae, V&.M. (Of the bone of Saint Candida, Virgin & Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Saverio Cristiani O.E.S.A. (†1800), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon and Sacristan of the Apostolic Curia (1782-1800). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by Father Cristiani in 1795.
