I received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic). These relics are indeed a treasure and will be honored tonight when I pray vespers. I will be definitely be looking to buy more relics from the Russian Store in the future.

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.

Theca with relics of St Francis of Paola and Blessed Bonaventure of Potenza

Oval glass-fronted reliquary theca housing relics of Saint Francis of Paola and the Blessed Bonaventure. The relics are affixed to a silk background, surrounded twisted silver wire ornamentation and identified on a paper cedula label in red ink as S. Franc. de Pou. / B. Bonaven. On the back the theca is protected by a seal of red wax with a perfectly preserved imprint of unidentified Catholic order.

Saint Francis of Paola, O.M. (Francesco di Paola)(†1507) was an Italian mendicant friar and the founder of the Roman Catholic Order of Minims. The two major movements in this order were humility and non-violence. The word "Minim" refers to living as the smallest or least, or embracing humility, simplicity, and plainness. The call to non-violence and absence of cruelty was expressed through veganism and not doing harm to any creature. He is a patron saint of vegetarians, boatmen, mariners, and naval officers.

Blessed Bonaventure of Potenza was born of poor but virtuous parents in Potenza in the kingdom of Naples. At the age of 15, Bonaventure received the Franciscan habit among the Conventuals. and became a home missioner in southern Italy. Noted novice master, and known for the theological depth of his preaching, he worked fearlessly with plague victims. A miracle worker, he had the gifts of healing, and of levitation, and saw the soul of his sister ascend into heaven. He was proclaimed blessed by Pope Pius VI in 1775 and his feast day is commemorated on October 26.
