I received the relic. The packaging and laminate explaining what it is, is excellent. I will buy more from you in the future. Thank you!

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

The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

Fr. Norbert

Thank you so much for the beautiful relic which arrived in excellent condition and great time (a couple of days ago). It is amazing and worth every penny! May God reward you for your "rescuing" of the relics of His saints and holy ones. Love and prayers,

Large reliquary with important relic of Basil of Caesarea (the Great Hierarch), Doctor of the Church

Large oval glass-fronted brass reliquary theca housing ex ossibus (of the bone) relics of Basil the Great. A significant (over 55 mm / 2 inches in length!) bone relic is affixed to the background of patterned silk ground and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as S. Basily Ep. D. (St. Basil, Bishop, Doctor of the Church). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint with a coat of arms of Cardinal Antonio Felice Zondadari (†1823), Archbishop of Siena (1795-1823).

Saint Basil the Great Hierarch (known as Basil of Caesarea) was the Greek bishop of Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia, Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) and along with Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa is referred to as the Cappadocian Father. He was an influential theologian who supported the Nicene Creed and opposed the heresies of the early Christian church. In addition to his work as a theologian, Basil was known for his care for the poor and underprivileged. Basil established guidelines for monastic life that focus on community life, liturgical prayer, and manual labor and is remembered as a father of communal monasticism in Eastern Christianity.
