The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

1715 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Anthony the Great, Father of All Monks

Oval crystal-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of a bone) relic of Saint Anthony the Great. The relic is affixed to a silk ground surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a bi-color manuscript cedula label as S. Antonii Ab. (Saint Anthony, Abbot). On the back the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Valeriano Chierichelli (†1722), Bishop of Ferentino, Lazio. The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed by the order of Bishop Chierichelli in 1715.

Saint Anthony the Great (†356), was a Christian monk from Egypt, revered since his death as a saint. He is distinguished from other saints named Anthony such as Anthony of Padua, by various epithets: Saint Anthony, Anthony of Egypt, Anthony the Abbot, Anthony of the Desert, Anthony the Anchorite, Anthony the Hermit, and Anthony of Thebes. For his importance among the Desert Fathers and to all later Christian monasticism, he is also known as the Father of All Monks. The biography of Anthony's life by Athanasius of Alexandria helped to spread the concept of Christian monasticism, particularly in Western Europe via its Latin translations. Anthony was among the first known to go into the wilderness (about AD 270), which contributed to his renown. Accounts of Anthony enduring supernatural temptation during his sojourn in the Eastern Desert of Egypt inspired the depiction of his temptations in visual art and literature. Anthony is appealed to against infectious diseases, particularly skin diseases. In the past, many such afflictions, including ergotism, erysipelas, and shingles, were referred to as Saint Anthony's fire. His feast day is celebrated on 17 January among the Orthodox and Catholic churches and on Tobi 22 in the Coptic calendar.
