Thank you so much for the beautiful icons! I received them today and love them. They are exquisite. Thank you, too, for arranging a payment plan for me, and for putting a wire on the back of each so I can hang them. I can't wait to do so.

Documented reliquary with relic of Saint Alexander Sauli, Apostle of Corsica

Large ornate silvered metal glass-fronted reliquary theca, containing a very significant ex ossibus (of the bone) first-class pre-canonization relic of Saint Alexander Sauli. The relic is titled in Latin on a paper cedula as Ex Oss. Ciner et Vestibus B. Alex Saulii (of the bone, bodily ashes, and clothes of the Blessed Alexander Sauli). On the back, the theca is secured by a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a coat of arms of Luigi Fransoni († 1862), Archbishop of Turin, Italy (1832-1862). The theca is housed in original tooled leather velvet lined case and comes with the original authentics document issued by the Archbishop of Turin in 1834.

Saint Alexander Sauli, C.R.S.P. († 1592), known as the "Apostle of Corsica," was an Italian priest born in Milan to a noble Genoese family. Joining the Barnabite Congregation at 17, he excelled in theology and philosophy, becoming Superior General at 33. Appointed Bishop of Aleria, Corsica, in 1571 by Pope Pius V, he revitalized the Church through reforms, rebuilding churches, and founding seminaries despite corsair threats. In 1591, he became Bishop of Pavia, dying the following year in Calosso. He was canonized in 1904 by Pope Pius X and his feast day is celebrated on October 11. He is the patron of Barnabite seminarians and of Corsica.
