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.

1811 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Theopiste (Tatyana), Martyr & wife of St. Eustathius

Oval crystal-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the ibone) relic of Saint Theopiste Martyr, Spouse of Saint Martyr Eustathios Placidas. A relic is affixed to a red silk ground surrounded by gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. // S. Theop. M. (of the bone of Saint Theopiste, Martyr). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Carlo Francesco Maria Caselli O.S.M. (†1828), Archbishop of Parma, Italy (1805–1828). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Cardinal Caselli in 1811.

Saint Theopiste (Tatyana), (†2nd century AD) — Wife of St. Eustathius (Placidus), a Roman general who converted to Christianity after a miraculous vision of Christ in a stag’s antlers. Together with their two sons, Agapius and Theopistus, Theopiste embraced the Christian faith and was baptized. Following their conversion, the family endured severe trials, including exile, poverty, and separation. Theopiste was captured by a sea captain but preserved her purity through unwavering faith and prayer. After years of hardship, the family was miraculously reunited and restored to honor. However, under Emperor Hadrian, they were ordered to renounce their faith and sacrifice to pagan gods. Refusing to apostatize, Theopiste, alongside her husband and sons, was martyred by being placed in a heated bronze bull. She is venerated as a model of faith, perseverance, and maternal devotion, commemorated for her steadfast witness to Christ amidst suffering. Feast day: September 20.
