Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti, T.O.R., (†1640) was an Italian nun of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. She wore an old tunic, went barefoot, frequently fasted on bread and water, and chastised her body by vigils. During the outbreak of a plague in the city, she became noted for her devotion to nursing the sick. Hyacintha established two confraternities, whose members were called Oblates of Mary or "Sacconi." By the time of her death, Hyacintha's reputation for holiness was so great, that, at her wake, her religious habit had to be replaced three times due to pieces of it being snipped off by the people to keep as a relic. Hyacintha was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726, and canonized in 1807 by Pope Pius VII. Today her remains are preserved for veneration in the church of her now-defunct monastery, which today bears her name. Hyachintha's feast day is celebrated by the Third Order of St. Francis on 30 January.
Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Hyacintae de M. (Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti). 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. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1992 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the Causes of Canonization.
