Vit. (Saint Crispin of Viterbo) 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 Postulator General of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Order on 20 June 1982, the very day of his canonization. 

Saint Crispino da Viterbo (†1750) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from Order of Friars Minor Capuchin who was an ardent devotee of the Mother of God and was consecrated to her protection in 1674 and he even made a small altar dedicated to her when he served in the kitchens at the house in Orvieto. He served in various roles for the order in various cities around Rome where he became a well-known figure with various nobles and prelates - even Pope Clement XI visiting him and seeking him out for advice and support. He was known as a sort of wonderworker who worked miracles during his lifetime. He was also known for his warm sense of humor and his simple method for living. Pope Pius VII beatified him in 1806 while Pope John Paul II canonized him as a saint on 20 June 1982. His feastday is celebrated on 19 May.
