1972 Documented reliquary with relic of St. Agostina Pietrantoni SDC, Martyr & Patron of Nurses

Small round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) pre-canonization relic of St. Agostina Pietrantoni. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as B. A. Pietra. (Blessed Agostina Pietrantoni). 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 Sisters of Divine Charity. The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Postulator General of Pietrantoni's beatification on 12 November 1972 (the very day of his beatification). 

Saint Agostina Pietrantoni, (†1894) was an Italian religious sister of the Sisters of Divine Charity who worked as a nurse in the Santo Spirito hospital in Rome where she tended to ill victims in a tuberculosis ward before a patient murdered her in 1894. She forgave her killer moments before she died of her wounds. She was beatified by Pope Paul VI on 12 November 1972 and canonized by Pope John Paul II on 18 April 1999. Her feast day is celebrated on 13 November and she is considered to be a Patron Saint of Abuse victims, Martyrs, People in poverty, People ridiculed for their piety, and Nurses. Her Feast Day is commemorated on 13 November.
