The five icons have arrived. Absolutely stunning! As ever, many thanks – and no doubt I’ll be back again in the future.

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.

I just open the the boxes of relics now. Wow they are really something- If St Peter wont let me go to purgatory, he will get a good fight from me this time. Thank you very much!

The icon of Our Lady of Unexpected Joy arrived a couple hours ago, and I am delighted with it; beautiful workmanship and beautiful story that I very much find compelling. Thank you...it has a good home here with a candle burning in front of it. Be safe and be well.

Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Jean-François Régis

Small oval crystal-fronted silver theca housing a relic of Saint Jean-François Régis. The relic is affixed to a red silk background surrounded by gilt paperole and silver wire ornamentation and identified on a manuscript cedula label in Latin as S. Joan Fr. R. (Saint Jean-François Régis). On the back, the theca is secured by a partially preserved seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of a Fr. Domenico Giordani (†1781), Titular Archbishop of Nicomedia (1755-1766).

Saint Jean-François Régis, known as Saint John Francis Regis (†1640), was a French priest of the Society of Jesus, who spent most of his life serving the marginalized and is recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. John Francis Regis was beatified by Pope Clement XI on 18 May 1716, and canonized by Pope Clement XII on 5 April 1737. He is a holy patron of Regis University, Regis High School, New York City, Regis Jesuit High School Aurora, CO and lacemakers.
