1777 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Hyacintha Mariscotti, T.O.R.

Oval glass-fronted brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex cordilis flagelli aspersi sanguinae (of a cord from a whip sprinkled with blood) and second-class ex veste (of the vestments) pre-canonization relics of Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti. A substantial relic is affixed to the center of the theca surrounded by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Flag. & Veste / B. Hy:ntae Marisc. (Of the whip and vestment of the Blessed Hyacintha Mariscotti).  On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Francesco Pettorelli Lalatta (†1788), Bishop of Parma, Italy (1760–1788). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Bishop Lalatta in 1777.

Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti, T.O.R., (†1640) was an Italian nun of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. She wore an old tunic, went barefoot, frequently fasted on bread and water, and chastised her body by vigils and self-flagellation. During the outbreak of a plague in the city, she became noted for her devotion in nursing the sick. Hyacintha went on to establish two confraternities, whose members were called Oblates of Mary or "Sacconi". By the time of her death, Hyacintha's reputation for holiness was so great, that, at her wake, her religious habit had to be replaced three times. This was due to pieces of it being snipped off by the people to keep as a relic. Hyacintha was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726, and canonized on 14 May 1807 by Pope Pius VII. Today her remains are preserved for veneration in the church of her now-defunct monastery, which today bears her name. Hyachintha's feast day is celebrated on 30 January by the Third Order of St. Francis.
