I just wanted to let you know that that the relic of St. Emygdius and accompanying documents arrived today here in Croatia. The relic will already be in a public procession very soon as Croatia has recently been rocked by strong earthquakes! Thank you once again for your professional approach! I look forward to doing future transactions with your company

Small reliquary theca with relic of St. Marcellina, sister of St. Ambrose of Milan

Small oval glass-fronted silver reliquary theca housing a relic of Saint Marcellina. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Marcell. (Saint Marcellina). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly-preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Costantino Patrizi Naro (†1876), Dean of the College of Cardinals and the Vicar General of the Roman Curia (1841-1876).

Saint Marcellina († 397) was born in Trier, Gaul the daughter of the Praetorian prefect of Gaul, and older sister of Saint Ambrose of Milan, who devoted her life to prayer and asceticism. After Ambrose had become Bishop of Milan in 374, he summoned his sister, and found in her a zealous assistant in fostering and extending the ascetic life among the maidens of Milan. Marcellina survived her brother by a year, dying in 398. Honored as a saint, she was buried in the crypt under the altar of the Ambrosian Basilica in Milan. Her feast day is celebrated on July 17th.
