1829 Documented theca with pre-canonization relics of St. Veronica Giuliani, Patron of Lebanon

Small oval silvered metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing precious pre-canonization first-class ex ossibus relics of St. Veronica Guliani. Substantial relic is affixed to a red silk background decorated with silver wire ornamentation. The relic is identified on a typeset paper cedula label as Ex Osssibus / B. Veronicae Ju. (from the bone of the Blessed Veronica Juliani). On the back, the theca is secured with a mostly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Florido Pierleoni C.O. (†1829) Bishop of Acquapendente (p. 1802-1829). The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed by Father Pierleoni in 1829.

Saint Veronica Giuliani, O.S.C. Cap., (Veronica de Julianis) (†1727) was an Italian Capuchin Poor Clares nun and mystic. After Veronica's death, a figure of the Cross was supposedly found impressed upon her heart, and her body has been noted as being incorrupt. She was beatified by Pope Pius VII ​in 1804, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI ​in 1839. She is usually represented in art crowned with thorns and embracing the Cross. St. Veronica's "rebirth" in Lebanon began with the devotion of a Lebanese religious, Brother Emmanuel, who came upon her writings in 1994 while serving at a monastery in Deir al-Zour, Syria.
