Documented theca with relics of St Maria Goretti, Patron of Rape & Christian Youth

Round gilt metal reliquary theca housing precious and rare first-class ex ossibus (from the bone) relics of Saint Maria Goretti. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground decorated by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as Ex ossibus S Maria Goretti (from the bone of St. Maria Goretti).  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 the Passionists order. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and signed by the Postulator General of the Passionist Order in 1955.

Saint Maria Goretti (1890 – 1902) is an Italian virgin-martyr of the Catholic Church, and one of the youngest canonized saints. on June 24, 1950, Pius XII canonized Maria as a saint, the "Saint Agnes of the 20th century." Maria's body is kept in the crypt of the Basilica of Nostra Signora delle Grazie e Santa Maria Goretti in Nettuno, south of Rome. It has been often reported that it is incorrupt but this is not the case. It is kept inside a statue that is lying down beneath the altar, which has been mistakenly believed by some to be its entirety. She is a Holy Patron of victims of rape, crime victims, teenage girls, modern youth, and Children of Mary.
