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 the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued on 13 June 1990 by the Postulator General of the Order.

Saint Lawrence of Brindisi (†1619) was a Roman Catholic priest, a theologian, and a member of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. An accomplished linguist, in addition to his native Italian, Lawrence could read and speak Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Czech, Spanish, and French fluently. In 1602, he was elected vicar general of the Capuchin friars, at that time the highest office in the Order. He was elected again in 1605, but refused the office. Until his death, he served as the adviser of his successors. He entered the service of the Holy See, becoming papal nuncio to Bavaria and to Spain, eventually retiring to a monastery in 1618. He was beatified in 1783 by Pope Pius VI and was canonized in 1881 by Pope Leo XIII. In 1959 Pope John XXIII declared him Doctor of the Church with the title “Apostolic Doctor.” His Feastday is commemorated on 21 July.
