Документированный мощевик с мощами Св. Беды Достопочтенного и Св. Иоанна Златоуста

Round glass-fronted yellow-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bones) relics of two Doctors of the Church: St. Bede the Venerable and St. John of Damascus. The relics are affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on typeset cedulae labels as S. Bedae Ven. C.D. // S. Joannis Dam. C.D. (St. Bede the Venerable, Doctor of the Church//St. John of Damascus, Doctor of the Church).  On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Camillo Ruini, an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Vicar General of Rome (1991–2008). The relic is accompanied by the original authentics document issued in 1993 by Msgr. Ruini.

Saint Bede the Venerable (†735) was an English monk at the monastery of St Peter and its companion monastery of St Paul in the Kingdom of Northumbria of the Angles. He was an author, teacher, and scholar, and his most famous work, Ecclesiastical History of the English People, gained him the title "The Father of English History." His ecumenical writings were extensive and included a number of Biblical commentaries and other theological works of exegetical erudition. Another important area of study for Bede was the academic discipline of computus. One of the more important dates Bede tried to compute was Easter. He also helped popularize the practice of dating forward from the birth of Christ (Anno Domini—in the year of our Lord), a practice that eventually became commonplace in medieval Europe. Bede was one of the greatest teachers and writers of the Early Middle Ages and is considered by many historians to be the most important scholar of antiquity for the period between the death of Pope Gregory I in 604 and the coronation of Charlemagne in 800. In 1899, Pope Leo XIII declared him a Doctor of the Church, the only native of Great Britain to achieve this designation. Bede was moreover a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers much more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, which contributed significantly to English Christianity. His Feastday is commemorated on 25 May (Western Churches) and 27 May (Orthodox Church).

Saint John of Damascus (~749) or John Damascene was a Christian monk, priest, hymnographer, and apologist. A polymath whose fields of interest and contribution included law, theology, philosophy, and music, he was given the by-name of Chrysorroas (i.e. "the golden speaker"). He wrote works expounding the Christian faith and composed hymns that are still used both liturgically in Eastern Christian practice throughout the world as well as in western Lutheranism at Easter. He is one of the Fathers of the Eastern Orthodox Church and is best known for his strong defense of icons. The Catholic Church regards him as a Doctor of the Church, often referred to as the Doctor of the Assumption due to his writings on the Assumption of Mary. He was also a prominent exponent of perichoresis and employed the concept as a technical term to describe both the interpenetration of the divine and human natures of Christ and the relationship between the hypostases of the Trinity. John is at the end of the Patristic period of dogmatic development, and his contribution is less that of theological innovation than that of a summary of the developments of the centuries before him. In Catholic theology, he is therefore known as the "last of the Greek Fathers." His Feastday is commemorated on 4 December.
