Saint Agnes of Assisi (†1253), sister of St. Clare of Assisi, joined her in following St. Francis of Assisi’s teachings, embracing poverty and penance. Despite their father’s violent attempts to retrieve her, divine intervention protected Agnes, allowing her to stay with Clare. Francis gave her the religious habit and established a cloister at San Damiano, founding the Order of Poor Ladies (later Poor Clares). Agnes led new communities in Monticelli, Mantua, Venice, and Padua, ruling with virtuous kindness. Canonized in 1753, her feast day is November 16.

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the second-class ex indumentis (of the clothings) relic of Saint Agnes of Assisi. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Agnetis Ass. V. (Saint Agnes of Assisi, Virgin). 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 Order of Friars Minor (commonly known as the Franciscans). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and signed in 1992 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the cause of beatification and canonization.
