I am extremely impressed with The Russian Store. From my initial email to them, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The relic I ordered arrived quickly and when promised. Along with the relic being very well packaged to avoid damage, I also received a Certificate of Authenticity that provides pertinent details and an accurate description of the relic. I will continue to use The Russian Store and have already recommended my friends and colleagues to them.

Reliquary theca with relics of Saint George, the Great Martyr of Lydda

Oval silver glass-fronted reliquary theca decorated around the perimeter with intricate filigree wire ornamentation housing precious first-class ex ossibus relics of Saint George, the Great Martyr of Lydda. The Precious relic is affixed to a pale red silk background and surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation. The relic is identified on a manuscript paper cedula label as S. Georgii M. (St. George, [Soldier] Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Florido Pierleoni C.O. (†1829) Bishop of Acquapendente (p. 1802-1829).

Saint George of Lydda (†303), the Greatmartyr, was a Roman soldier and military officer in the Guard of Emperor Diocletian of the Roman army, who ordered his death for failing to recant his Christian faith. As a Christian martyr, he later became one of the most venerated saints in Christianity. Venerated as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, Saint George is a holy patron of agricultural workers; archers; armorers; cavalry; chivalry; Constantinople; Crusaders; England; equestrians; Ethiopia; farmers; field workers; Georgia; Montenegro; Moscow; Order of the Garter; Palestine; Portuguese Army and Navy; Ptuj; riders; Romani people; saddle makers; Serbia; Scouts; sheep and shepherds; skin diseases; Slovenia; and soldiers.
