I am extremely impressed with The Russian Store. From my initial email to them, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The relic I ordered arrived quickly and when promised. Along with the relic being very well packaged to avoid damage, I also received a Certificate of Authenticity that provides pertinent details and an accurate description of the relic. I will continue to use The Russian Store and have already recommended my friends and colleagues to them.

The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

Reliquary theca with relics of St. Romanus Ostiarius, Soldier & Martyr, Patron of Monaco

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Romanus Ostiarius, Martyr of Rome. A substantial relic is affixed to a gilt-paper starburst on a ground of salmon-colored silk, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. S. Romani Mil. & M. (of the bone of Saint Romanus, Soldier & Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775).

Saint Romanus Ostiarius, Martyr of Rome (+258), was a Roman legionary who converted to Christianity while assisting Saint Lawrence at his martyrdom. During the martyrdom of St Deacon Lawrence, Romanus had a vision of an angel to relieve his agony and decided to request baptism. Romanus, trying to act secretly, approached the deacon with a pitcher of water, and he baptized him. St. Romanus was immediately seized and severely beaten. Then, after he publicly declared that he was a Christian, Saint Romanus was taken to the Salt Gate and beheaded on 9 August 258, during the persecution of Emperor Valerian I. His relics are located in Rome, Lucca, Ferrara, and Avella. St. Romanus is venerated as the patron saint of Monaco, and his feast day is commemorated on 9 August.
