The icon of Our Lady of Unexpected Joy arrived a couple hours ago, and I am delighted with it; beautiful workmanship and beautiful story that I very much find compelling. Thank you...it has a good home here with a candle burning in front of it. Be safe and be well.

Reliquary theca with relics of St. James the Greater, the Apostle

Round glass-fronted silvered brass reliquary theca housing relic of Apostle Saint James, the Greater. The relic is centered on a red silk background identified on a typographic cedula label as S. Jacobi Maj. Ap. (Saint James, the Greater, Apostle). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured by a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a clear imprint of an unidentified Roman Catholic Bishop.

Saint James, the Apostle († 44 AD) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and traditionally considered the first apostle to be martyred. He is also called James the Greater or James the Great to distinguish him from James, son of Alphaeus and James the Just. James the Greater is the patron saint of Spain, and as such is often identified as Santiago. The traditional pilgrimage to his grave, known as the "Way of St. James", has been the most popular pilgrimage for Western European Catholics from the Early Middle Ages onwards, although its modern revival and popularity stems from Walter Starkie's 1957 book, The Road to Santiago. The feast day of St. James is celebrated on 25 July on the liturgical calendars of the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and certain Protestant churches and on 30 April in the Orthodox Christian liturgical calendar.
