1987 Vatican Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Cunigunde, (Kunigunde) Empress, patroness of Luxembourg

Round glass-fronted white-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bones) relic of St. Cunigunde. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Cunigundis Imp. (St. Cunigunde, Empress).  On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Ugo Poletti (†1997), an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Vicar General of Rome (1973–1991). The relic is accompanied by the original  authentics document issued in 1987 by Msgr. Poletti. 

Saint Cunigunde of Luxembourg, OSB (German: Kunigunde) (†1040), also called Cunegundes, Cunegunda, and Cunegonda and, in Latin, Cunegundis or Kinigundis, was Empress of the Holy Roman Empire by marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Saint Henry II. She ruled as interim regent after the death of her spouse in 1024. Cunigunde was canonized by Pope Innocent III on 29 March 1200, 53 years after the canonization of her husband Henry II in July 1147. She is a saint and the patroness of Luxembourg; her feast day is 3 March.
