Rev. Fr. Michael, FL

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.

1794 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relic of the Holy Innocents

Oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of one of the Holy Innocents. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on a salmon-colored silk ground surrounded by gilt silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. Unius SS. Innocentium MM (From the bone of one of the Holy Innocents, Martyrs). 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 Saverio Cristiani O.E.S.A. († 1800), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon in a capacity of the Sacristan of the Apostolic Palace during the pontificate of Pope Pius VI (p. 1775-1799). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Bishop Cristiani in 1794.

The Holy Innocents are mentioned in the Gospel of St. Matthew (2:16-18): "Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." The Feast of the Holy Innocents, also known as Childermas, is celebrated in the Western Christian Churches on 28 December, the fourth day of Christmastide. The Roman Station of 28 December is at St. Paul's Outside the Walls because that church possesses relics of several Holy Innocents' bodies. A portion of these relics was transferred by Pope Sixtus V to Santa Maria Maggiore. The church of St. Justina at Padua, the cathedrals of Lisbon and Milan, and other churches also preserve bodily relics of some of the Holy Innocents.
