Thank you so much for the beautiful icons! I received them today and love them. They are exquisite. Thank you, too, for arranging a payment plan for me, and for putting a wire on the back of each so I can hang them. I can't wait to do so.

1791 Vatican documented reliquary with relics of St. Benedict, Martyr of Sicily

Oval glass-fronted silvered metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Benedict, Martyr. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Benedicti M. (Saint Benedict, Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Saverio Cristiani O.E.S.A. († 1800), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon in a capacity of the Sacristan of the Apostolic Palace during the pontificate of Pope Pius VI (p. 1775-1799). The theca is accompanied by the original matching authentics documents issued and signed by Fr. Cristiani in 1791.

Saint Benedict, martyred in the fourth century at age 28. Biographical data of the period suggest that Benedict might have been a soldier in the imperial army who converted to Christianity during his military service. According to tradition, he was martyred on the bridge of the Menocchia stream near the city of Cupra. It was Oct. 13, 304, when Diocletian was emperor. After his martyrdom, local Christians buried the saint, building a hidden sepulcher, almost a catacomb, which could be accessed secretly. A plaque was placed on the martyr’s tomb that is still partly preserved. After Constantine’s edict allowing Christianity, a small oratory was built on the saint’s tomb. Later, a parish was built in the nearby area, and eventually an abbey church. The edifice, reconstructed in 1698, included the saint’s tomb, so that his sepulcher was never moved from its original place.
