I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that the Passion Relics arrived safe & sound this morning. They are more beautiful than the photos shown in the description on your website!

The Old Believer icon of Our Lady of the Unburnt Thornbush is exquisite. It arrived this morning and is now hanging in my icon corner, alongside the other beautiful antique icons that I have acquired from the Russian Store.

Reliquary theca with relics of St Alexander Sauli, Apostle of Corsica

Large Baroque bronze crystal-fronted reliquary theca, containing very significant ex ossibus (of the bone) and ex cineribus (of the ashes) first-class pre-canonization relics of Saint Alexander Sauli. The relics are affixed to a gold silk background and titled on a paper cedula as Ex Oss. et Cin. B Alexand. Saulii. Ep. (From the bone and ashes of the Blessed Alexader Sauli, Bishop). Back of the theca is secured by a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a coat of arms of Bishop Gennaro Pasca (†1855), Bishop of Nola (1828-1855).

Saint Alexander Sauli, C.R.S.P. († 1592), was an Italian priest, who is called the "Apostle of Corsica". In 1571, he was appointed by Pius V to the ancient see of Aleria, Corsica, where he rebuilt churches, founded colleges and seminaries, and despite the depredations of corsairs, placed the Church in a flourishing condition. He was beatified by Benedict XIV in 1742, and canonized by Pope Pius X in 1904. and is a holy patron of Corsica and Barnabite seminarians.
