1772 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Venantius of Camerino, Martyr

Large oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of St. Venantius of Camerino, Martyr. A substantial relic is affixed to the center of the theca surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Venantii Mart. (St. Venantius, Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Giuseppe de Vignoli (†1742), Bishop of Carpentras, France (1757-1777). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Monsignor de Vignoli in 1772.

Saint Venantius of Camerino (also known as San Venanzio and Saint Wigand) (†251) is a Christian Martyr Saint who is venerated as the patron saint of Camerino and Raiano, Italy. Christian tradition holds that he was a 15-year-old who was tortured, and martyred by decapitation at Camerino during the persecutions of Decius. Before Venantius was killed, he was scourged, burned with flaming torches, hanged upside-down over a fire, had his teeth knocked out and his jaw broken, thrown to the lions, and tossed over a high cliff. Venantius was buried outside the city walls of Camerino, where a basilica was built in the fifth century. The cult of Venantius became popular: his image appeared on coins and in litanies; springs near the basilica, which were associated with the saint, were used by lepers and people with peptic ulcers to cure their afflictions. In the 17th century, Pope Clement X, who was a former bishop of Camerino, further contributed to the spread of his cult: he raised the saint's feast to the level of a double rite and composed hymns for Venantius' office. His Feast day is celebrated on 18 May.
