Round gilt brass reliquary theca housing a precious first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. The relic is affixed to a red silk background and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as S. Franc. Xav. Cabrini V. (Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin). 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 arms of Fr. Augustino a Virgine, Postulator General for the cause of canonization of Frances Xavier Cabrini. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued by Fr. Augustino a Virgine in 1954.
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, M.S.C. (Italian: Francesca Saverio Cabrini; †1917), also called Mother Cabrini, was an Italian-American religious sister, who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Catholic religious institute that was a major support to the Italian immigrants to the United States. She was the first naturalized citizen of the United States to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, on July 7, 1946. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini is the patron saint of immigrants, and of the religious institute, the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará, (Servidoras).
