Documented theca with relics of St Francis de Sales & St Jane Frances de Chantal, founders of a religious order Congregation of the Visitation of Holy Mary.

Late 18th-century round glass-fronted ivory reliquary theca, containing ex carne (of the flesh) first-class relics of Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane Frances de Chantal. The relics are identified in Latin on a paper cedula label as chair de s. f. de sales / chair s. de Chanta(l). The back of the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax. The theca is affixed to the original autentics document dated 1777 and issued by Fr. Jean-Pierre Biord (†1785), Bishop of Geneva (1764-1785).

Saint Francis de Sales, CO OM OFM Cap.

Along with St. Jane Frances de Chantal, Sales founded the women's Order of the Visitation. He was beatified in 1661 by Pope Alexander VII, who then canonized him four years later. In 1877, he was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX .

She was beatified on 21 November 1751 by Pope Benedict XIV, and canonized on 16 July 1767 by Pope Clement XIII. She is a patron of forgotten people; in-law problems; loss of parents; parents separated from children; widows
