1984 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. Elizabeth a Trin. (Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity).  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 the Discalced Carmelites of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued on November 25, 1984 (the day of her beatification)  by the Postulator General of the Order.

Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity, OCD (French: Élisabeth de la Trinité)(†1906), was a French Discalced Carmelite, a mystic, and a spiritual writer. She was known for the depth of her spiritual growth as a Carmelite as well as bleak periods in which her religious calling was perceived to be unsure according to those around her; she was acknowledged for her persistence in pursuing the will of God and in devoting herself to the charism of the Carmelites. Of that experience as a professed religious, she wrote in a letter: "I can't find words to express my happiness. Here there is no longer anything but God. He is All; He suffices and we live by Him alone". Pope John Paul II celebrated her beatification in Paris on 25 November 1984. She was canonized as a saint on 16 October 2016 by Pope Francis, and her feast day is commemorated on 8 November.
