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 received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic). These relics are indeed a treasure and will be honored tonight when I pray vespers. I will be definitely be looking to buy more relics from the Russian Store in the future.

We received the beautiful reliquary with the relic and thank you for letting us spend many months making payments to acquire this relic. Have a blessed week.

I just open the the boxes of relics now. Wow they are really something- If St Peter wont let me go to purgatory, he will get a good fight from me this time. Thank you very much!

The five icons have arrived. Absolutely stunning! As ever, many thanks – and no doubt I’ll be back again in the future.

1834 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Rose of Lima, Patron of Latin America

A sizable relic is affixed to a blue silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on manuscript cedula label as S. Rosae / Limen V. (St. Rose of Lima, Virgin). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Vitale Loschi (†1842), Bishop of Parma, Bishop of Parma (1831-1842). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Bishop Loschiin 1834.

Saint Rose of Lima, TOSD (†1617) was a lay member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru, who became known for both her life of severe penance and her care of the poverty stricken of the city through her own private efforts. Rose of Lima was born to a noble family and is the patron saint of embroidery, gardening and cultivation of blooming flowers. She was declared a saint by the Catholic Church, being the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as such. Her shrine is located inside of the convent of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru. The Catholic Church says that many miracles followed her death: there were stories that she had cured a leper, and that, at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses also started falling from the sky. Many places in the New World are named Santa Rosa after her. As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated as a co-patroness of the Philippines, the primary patroness of Peru, and of the local people of Latin America. Her feast day is celebrated on August 23.
