Reliquary theca with relic of St. Thomas, the Apostle

Oval silvered metal glass-fronted theca housing the first-class ex ossibus relic of Saint Thomas the Apostle. The relic is affixed to a red silk background surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. S. Thom. Ap. (from the bone of Saint Thomas, Apostle). On the back, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Antonio Felice Zondadari (†1823), Archbishop of Siena (1795-1823).

Thomas the Apostle (called Didymus which means "the twin" in Syriac) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He is informally called doubting Thomas because he doubted Jesus' resurrection when first told, followed later by his confession of faith, "My Lord and my God", on seeing Jesus' wounded body. After his death, the reputed relics of Saint Thomas the Apostle were enshrined as far as Mesopotamia in the 3rd century, and later moved to various places. In 1258, some of the relics were brought to Abruzzo in Ortona, Italy, where they have been held in the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle. He is often regarded as the Patron Saint of India and Sri Lanka. His Feast day is celebrated on May 3rd (Roman Catholic Church), and 14 November (Eastern Orthodox Church).
