2003 Documented reliquary theca with relic of the Blessed Marco d'Aviano, O.F.M. Cap.

Round glass-fronted white-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of the Blessed Marco d'Aviano. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground under a color portrait of the Blessed and identified in Latin on typeset cedula label as Beato Marco D'Aviano (the Blessed Marco d'Aviano) 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 21 April 2003, only 6 days before his beatification. 

Blessed Marco d'Aviano, O.F.M. Cap., born Carlo Domenico Cristofori (†1699) was an Italian Capuchin friar. His life took an unexpected turn in 1676, when he gave his blessing to a nun, bedridden for some 13 years: she was miraculously healed. The news spread far and wide, and it was not long before the sick, and many others from all social strata, began to seek him out. Among those who sought his help was Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, whose wife had been unable to conceive a male heir. From 1680 to the end of his life, Marco d'Aviano became a close confidant and adviser to him, providing the irresolute and often indecisive emperor with guidance and advice for all problems, political, economic, military or spiritual. An impassioned preacher and a skillful mediator, Marco d'Aviano played a crucial role in resolving disputes, restoring unity, and energizing the armies of the Holy League, which included Austria, Poland, Venice, and the Papal States. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 27 April 2003 and his feast is ce,ebrated on August 13.
