1816 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relic of the True Cross of Jesus Christ

An oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing relics from the Wood of the True Cross. A substantial relic of the True Cross is affixed to a silk background in a cruciform shape surrounded by gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as L. + D.N.J.C. ([of] the Wood from the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ)On the back, the theca is secured by a seal of red wax with a clear imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Giuseppe Bartolomeo Menocchio, O.E.S.A. (†1823), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon (1800–1823) and Sacristan of His Holiness Pope Pius VIIThe reliquary is accompanied by a matching authentics document issued and signed by Bishop Menocchio in 1816. 

The True Cross is the name for physical remnants, which, according to Church tradition, are believed to be from the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. Empress Helena, the mother of Constantine, the first Christian Emperor of Rome, traveled to the Holy Land in 326–28, where she discovered the hiding place of three crosses that were believed to be used at the crucifixion of Jesus and of two thieves, St. Dismas and Gestas, executed with him, and a miracle revealed which of the three was the True Cross. Fragments of the Cross were broken up, and the pieces were widely distributed; in 348, in one of his Catecheses, Cyril of Jerusalem remarked that the "whole earth is full of the relics of the Cross of Christ." Most of the very small relics of the True Cross in Europe came from Constantinople after the city was captured and sacked in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade. They were carved up by the present bishops and divided with other very precious relics among the knights; who, after their return to the homeland, donated them to churches and monasteries.
