I received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic).

Documented theca with a relic from the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mother

Oval glass-fronted silver reliquary theca housing significant ex velo (from the veil) relic of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The relic is affixed to a silk background richly decorated by gilt paperolle and silver cord ornamentation and identified on a manuscript cedula as B. Marie V. (Blessed Virgin Mary). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Father Filippo Mornati (†1778), Bishop of Nepi e Sutri (1754-1778). It is accompanied by original matching authentics document issued and hand signed by Fr. Mornati in 1776.

According to tradition, the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary was worn by the Virgin as she stood at the foot of the Cross. It had been transferred in the early years of the Christianity from Jerusalem to Constantinople when it was presented by the Byzantine Empress Irene to the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. In 876 his descendant Charles the Bald gave the relic to the cathedral at Chartres. The Veil is kept in a golden reliquary beside the high altar and has formed the focus of many traditions throughout the centuries. It was believed to have protected the faithful down through the centuries from many dangers and evils, including famine and war, outbreaks of the plague, and the worst ravishes of the French Revolution. The veil itself is more than six meters long and made of silk. Scientific studies have shown that it is of Syrian design, of fine quality and can be traced to the first century. Every year on 15th August, the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, the Veil is processed through the town of Chartres.
