Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Elizabeth of Hungary

Round glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Elis. R. Hun. (Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Royal). 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 Monsignor Luigi Macchi (†1907), Cardinal-Deacon of Santa Maria in Via Lata (1889–1907).

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, T.O.S.F., († 1231) was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary, Landgravine of Thuringia, Germany, and a greatly venerated Catholic saint who was an early member of the Third Order of St. Francis, by which she is honored as its patroness. Elizabeth was married at the age of 14, and widowed at 20. After her husband's death she sent her children away and regained her dowry, using the money to build a hospital where she herself served the sick. She became a symbol of Christian charity after her death at the age of 24 and was quickly canonized in 1235 by Pope Gregory IX. She is also a patron of hospitals, nurses, bakers, brides, countesses, dying children, exiles, homeless people, lace-makers, and widows. Her Feast is celebrated on November 17th.
