Reliquary theca with relics of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, Martyrs

Large oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing first-class Ex Ossibus (of a bone) relics of early Christian Martyrs Saints Crispin and Crispinian. Relics are affixed to a gilt paper burst on a red silk ground, surrounded by gilt paper ornamentation, and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. SS. Crispini et Crisponiani MM. (of bones of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, Martyrs). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Giovacchino Limberti (†1874), Archbishop of Florence, Italy (1857–1874).

Saints Crispin and Crispinian († c. 286) were twin brothers, born into a noble Roman family. Embracing Christianity, they fled persecution to Soissons, Gaul, where they worked as shoemakers while preaching the Gospel. Known for their charity, they provided shoes to the poor, earning widespread admiration. During Emperor Maximian’s persecution of Christians, they were arrested, tortured, and ordered to renounce their faith. Refusing, they endured severe trials, including being thrown into a river with millstones tied to them, yet miraculously survived. Ultimately, they were beheaded around 286. Venerated as martyrs, they are patron saints of shoemakers. Their feast day is October 25.
