1853 Documented theca with a relic of St. Anthony of Padua, patron of travelers & lost items

Oval silver crystal-fronted reliquary theca housing a second-class ex casula (of the tomb) relic of Saint Anthony of Padua. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground decorated by silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Anthonii Patavini C. (Saint Anthony of Padua, Confessor). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Giulio Arrigoni O.F.M. Ref. (+ 1875), Archbishop of Lucca. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed in 1853 by Fr. Arrigoni.

Saint Anthony of Padua († 1231), also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most-quickly canonized saints in church history. He was canonized in 1232 by Pope Gregory IX and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1946. He is the patron saint of Lisbon, lost items, lost people, lost souls, American Indians; amputees; animals; Brazil; elderly people; faith in the Blessed Sacrament; fishermen; harvests; horses; lower animals; mail; mariners; oppressed people; poor people; Portugal; pregnant women; shipwrecks; starvation; sterility; swineherds; travel hostesses; and travelers. His feast day is celebrated on June 13.
