Saint Clare of Montefalco (†1308), also called Saint Clare of the Cross, was an Augustinian nun and abbess. Before becoming a nun, Clare was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis (Secular). In 1294, during the celebration of the Epiphany, she fell into ecstasy and remained in that state for several weeks. Since she was unable even to eat during this period, the other nuns sustained Clare's life by feeding her sugar water. During this time, Clare reported having a vision in which she saw herself being judged in front of God. Immediately following Clare's death, her heart was removed from her body, and upon inspection, it was reported that symbols of Christ's passion, a crucifix, and a scourge were found within her heart. She was beatified in 1737 and canonized by Pope Leo XIII on December 8, 1881. Her feast is commemorated on August 17.
Large oval glass-fronted brass reliquary theca housing second-class pre-canonization relics of Saint Clare of Montefalco (of the Cross). The relics are affixed to a salmon-colored silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle and identified in Latin on manuscript cedulae labels as De Gossypio / De Velo Albo / De Velo Negro / B. Clarae de Montefalco. (Of the Cotton, or the White and Black Veil of the Blessed Clare of Montefalco). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Carlo Maria Francesco Caselli O.S.M. (†1828), Archbishop of Parma, Italy (1804–1828). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by Cardinal Caselli in 1820.
