2002 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Padre Pio (Saint Pius of Pietrelcina)

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex panno a stigmatibus cruentato  (from a cloth bloodied by the stigmata) relics of St. Padre Pio. The cloth relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as San Pio da Pietrelcina (Saint Pio of Pietrelcina).  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 the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued on June 16, 2002 (the year of his canonization) by the Postulator General of the Order.

Saint Padre Pio, also known as Saint Pius of Pietrelcina (†1968), was an Italian Franciscan Capuchin, friar, priest, stigmatist, and mystic, now venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Padre Pio became famous for exhibiting stigmata for most of his life, thereby generating much interest and controversy. He was both beatified (1999) and canonized (2002) by Pope John Paul II. His feast day is celebrated on 23 September and he is considered a patron saint of Pietrelcina, Italy, civil defense volunteers, and adolescents.
