Reliquary theca with relics of Saint Louis, Bishop of Toulouse

Round glass-fronted  reliquary theca dating to 1920's housing first class ex habite  (from the robe) relics of Saint Louis, Bishop of Toulouse. The relics are affixed to a red silk background and identified on a typographic cedula as S. Ludov. Ep. C. (Saint Louis, Bishop and Confessor)On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is protected by a seal of red wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin sealed by Fr. Anthony M. Santarelli, Postulator General of the Order in 1920's responsible for a cause for beatification and canonization through the judicial processes required by the Roman Catholic Church.

Saint Louis of Toulouse (†1297) was a cadet of the royal French house of Anjou who was made a Catholic bishop at the age of about 22, rapidly gaining a reputation for serving the poor, feeding the hungry, and ignoring his own needs. He was canonized by John XXII on 7 April 1317.  He was not widely venerated in the rest of Europe, but the Franciscans embraced him, keeping his day in their calendar and removing his relics in 1423 to Valencia, where he was made its patron saint. His feast day is celebrated on August 19.
