New Arrival
Reliquary theca with relic of St. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, O.Carm.

Oval brass glass-fronted pendant reliquary theca housing second-class ex velo (of the veil) of ​​Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi. The relic is affixed to a gilt papper burst on a background of red silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Vel. S. M. Magd. de Pazz (From the veil of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint with a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775). 

Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, O.Carm. († 1607) was an Italian Carmelite nun and mystic. Numerous miracles allegedly followed de' Pazzi's death. She was beatified in 1626 and canonized in 1669 by Pope Clement IX. She is little known outside Italy, but her cult is very strong, especially in Florence. Her importance in the Mission to the East especially in connection with India is recently explored. Her feast day is commemorated on May 25.
