I have received both icons and thank you. One of them is even more beautiful than I thought. The packaging was perfect, and the shipping very fast for a package that had to cross the Atlantic and find my little Breton village.

The icon of the Prophet Elijah with Scenes of his Life and Fiery Ascension arrived today. It is a fabulous icon and I am delighted that it is part of my collection. The high quality of the Russian Store's antique icons and your excellent customer service is once again appreciated.

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

The Relic of St Vincent Ferrer arrived safely a little while ago and I am delighted with everything. Thank you and God bless you.

Reliquary theca with relics of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits)

Oval crystal-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing a relic of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The relic is affixed to a milticolor silk ground surrounded by silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Ignatii Loyolae (Saint Ignatius of Loyola). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Ferdinando Maria de Rossi (†1775), the Titular Patriarch of Constantinople and a Viceregent of Rome.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola (†1556) was a Spanish Basque priest and theologian, who founded the religious order called the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General. Ignatius was beatified in 1609, and then canonized, receiving the title of Saint on March 12, 1622. His feast day is celebrated on July 31. He is the patron saint of the Basque provinces of Gipuzkoa and Biscay as well as the Society of Jesus, and was declared patron saint of all spiritual retreats by Pope Pius XI in 1922. Ignatius is also a foremost patron saint of soldiers.
