1868 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Veronica Giuliani

Small round glass-fronted silvered brass reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Veronica Giuliani. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on typeset cedula label as Ex Ossibus / S. Veron. Julian.  (of a bone of Saint Veronica Giuliani).  On the back, under a 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 (OFMCap). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1868 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the Causes of Canonization.

Saint Veronica Giuliani, O.S.C. Cap., (Veronica de Julianis) (†1727) was an Italian Capuchin Poor Clares nun and mystic. After Veronica's death a figure of the Cross was supposedly found impressed upon her heart, and her body has been noted as being incorrupt. She was beatified by Pope Pius VII ​in 1804, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI ​in 1839. She is usually represented in art crowned with thorns and embracing the Cross. St. Veronica's "rebirth" in Lebanon began with the devotion of a Lebanese religious, Brother Emmanuel, who came upon her writings in 1994 while serving at a monastery in Deir al-Zour, Syria.
