Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Jeanne-Antide Thouret, founder of the Thouret sisters

Small round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of St. Jeanne-Antide Thouret. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S.G.A. Thour. (St. Jeanne-Antide Thouret). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Jeanne Antide Thouret. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the Postulator General of the Order and comes in the original silk-covered case of the issue containing a roundel with a portrait of the Saint. 

Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret (†1826) was a French Roman Catholic professed religious and the founder of the Thouret sisters. Thouret's life was one of service to children and the ill across France in schools and hospitals - some of which her order established. This active apostolate did not cease when the French Revolution forced her into exile in both Switzerland and the Kingdom of Prussia. Thouret's canonization cause started in 1900 under Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI later named her as Venerable in 1922. That same pope beatified her in 1926 and canonized her in 1934. Her feast day is commemorated on 24 August and 23 May by the Thouret sisters.
