I will get money in the mail to you I hope this week for the icons. I just love them so much and venerate with all my heart. They enrich my life at home and when I go to the church. They are there for me and others if they want to turn to them.

The Old Believer icon of Our Lady of the Unburnt Thornbush is exquisite. It arrived this morning and is now hanging in my icon corner, alongside the other beautiful antique icons that I have acquired from the Russian Store.

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

1764 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Sylvester, Abbot, founder of the Sylvestrine Congregation

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of St. Sylvester, Abbot. 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. Silv. Abbt. (St. Sylvester, Abbot). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Amadeus Grassi, O.S.B. Silv., Abbot of the Sylvestrine Congregation. The relic is accompanied by the original matching hand-written authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Abbot Grassi in 1764.

Saint Silvestro Guzzolini (†1267) was an Italian Catholic priest and the founder of the Silvestrine Order. He served as a canon in Osimo but respectful rebukes of his bishop's inappropriate conduct led him to leave for a hermitage before the bishop could strip him of his position. He remained in his hermitage with a determination to found a religious congregation and based it upon the Order of Saint Benedict after having a dream of Benedict of Nursia. His order received papal approval from Pope Innocent IV which allowed his order to expand across Italian cities to a significant degree. His beatification was confirmed in the 1260s after his death in 1267, and he was later canonized in 1598 as a saint.
