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.

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 relic of St. Mark, the Evangelist

Oval silvered metal glass-fronted theca housing the first-class ex ossibus relic of Saint Mark, the Evangelist. The relic is affixed to a red silk background surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. S. Marci Ev. (from the bone of Saint Mark, the Evangelist). On the back, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of Cardinal Antonio Felice Zondadari (†1823), Archbishop of Siena (1795-1823).

Saint Mark the Evangelist was the author of the Gospel of Mark and founder of the Church of Alexandria, one of the most important episcopal sees of Early Christianity. In 828, his relics were stolen from Alexandria (at the time controlled by the Abbasid Caliphate) by two Venetian merchants with the help of two Greek monks and taken to Venice. In 1063, during the construction of a new basilica in Venice, Saint Mark's relics could not be found. However, according to tradition, in 1094, the saint himself revealed the location of his remains by extending an arm from a pillar. The newfound remains were placed in a sarcophagus in the basilica of San Marco. His feast day is celebrated on April 25, and he is a Holy Patron of Barristers, Venice, Egypt, and Mainar.
