Round glass-fronted white metal reliquary theca housing the second-class ex ligno crucis (of the wood of the cross) relic of Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti. Relic is affixed to the center of the theca surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Hyacint. V. (Saint Hyacintha, Virgin). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Order of of Friars Minor. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of the Postulator General of the Order in 1935.
Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti, T.O.R., (†1640) was an Italian nun of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. Hyacintha was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726, and canonized on 14 May 1807 by Pope Pius VII. Today her remains are preserved for veneration in the church of her now-defunct monastery, which today bears her name. Hyachintha's feast day is celebrated on 30 January by the Third Order of St. Francis.
