Saint Maurus, O.S.B., (†ca. 584) was the first disciple of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of Western Christian monasticism. He is mentioned in Saint Gregory the Great's biography of the latter as the first oblate; offered to the monastery by his noble Roman parents as a young boy to be brought up in the monastic life. Four stories involving Maurus recounted by Gregory formed a pattern for the ideal formation of a Benedictine monk. The most famous of these involved Saint Maurus's rescue of Saint Placidus, a younger boy offered to Saint Benedict at the same time as Saint Maurus. He is venerated on 5 October and is a holy patron of cripples; invoked against rheumatism, epilepsy, gout, hoarseness, cold; Azores; charcoal burners; cobblers; coppersmiths; and shoemakers.
Round glass-fronted reliquary theca dating to 1920's housing first class ex ossibus (from the bone) relics of Saint Maurus of Clervaux. The relics are affixed to a red silk background and identified on a typographic cedula as S. Mauri Abb. (Saint Maurus, Abbot). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured by a seal of red wax with a well preserved imprint of a coat of arms of cardinal Basilio Pompilj (†1931), Vicar General of the Roman Curia (1913-1931). The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document under a coat of arms of Pope Pius XI, issued by Monsignor Basilio Pompilj and dated 1926.
