I just wanted to let you know that that the relic of St. Emygdius and accompanying documents arrived today here in Croatia. The relic will already be in a public procession very soon as Croatia has recently been rocked by strong earthquakes! Thank you once again for your professional approach! I look forward to doing future transactions with your company

Thank you so much for the beautiful relic which arrived in excellent condition and great time (a couple of days ago). It is amazing and worth every penny! May God reward you for your "rescuing" of the relics of His saints and holy ones. Love and prayers,

St. Maximilian Kolbe’s relic has arrived safe and sound. It’s incredible to think such a rare relic is now in my possession. Thank you for the beautiful certificate as well. His relic will be treasured among the rest of the saints I’m blessed to be a custodian of. Hope to deal with you again soon!

Large reliquary with relic from the Holy Chemise of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Large oval glass-fronted silvered brass reliquary theca housing rarely seen de Subuculi (of the Holy Chemise) relic of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A significant relic is affixed to the background of red silk ground surrounded by silver wire and gilt paperolle ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as De Sub: BMae Vir. M. (Of the Chemise of the Blessed Virgin Mary). On the back, the theca is secured with a perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint with a coat of arms of Fr. Giulio Maria della Somaglia (†1830), Cardinal-Priest of Santa Sabina (mother church of the Dominican order), Papal Vicar General, and Prefect of the Congregation of Sacred Rites.

According to tradition, La Sainte Chemise, often translated into English as the Holy Tunic, was the undergarment that the Virgin Mary was believed to have been wearing while she gave birth to the baby Jesus. The ecclesiastics emphasized that she had worn it next to her bare skin and it aroused fascinating attention. It was said to have been given to Emperor Charlemagne by the Empress Irene of Byzantium, who wanted to win favor with him, and presented to Chartres by his grandson Charles the Bald in 876. During the French Revolution, the Holy Chemise was taken away and torn to pieces, but a part of it was recovered afterward and kept in the Chartres cathedral.
