Reliquary theca with relics of St. Peter of Alcantara, O.F.M., Patron Saint of Brazil

Oval crystal-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Peter of Alcantara. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper star on a silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. S. Petri de Alcanth. Confess. (of the bone of Peter of Alcantara, Confessor). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Ferdinando Minucci (†1856), Archbishop of Florence (1828-1856).

Saint Peter of Alcantara, O.F.M. (Spanish: San Pedro de Alcántara) († 1562), was a Spanish Franciscan friar noted as a man of remarkable austerity and poverty who traveled throughout Spain preaching the Gospel to the poor. He wrote a Treatise on Prayer and Meditation, which was considered a masterpiece by St. Teresa, St. Francis de Sales, and Louis of Granada. While in prayer and contemplation, he was often seen in ecstasies and levitation. On his deathbed, he was offered a glass of water, which he refused, saying, "Even my Lord Jesus Christ thirsted on the Cross...". He was beatified in Rome by Pope Gregory XV on April 18, 1622, and canonized by Pope Clement IX on April 28, 1669. He is a Patron Saint of Brazil, Eucharistic adoration, and Estremadura.
