I am extremely impressed with The Russian Store. From my initial email to them, they have been very responsive and knowledgeable. The relic I ordered arrived quickly and when promised. Along with the relic being very well packaged to avoid damage, I also received a Certificate of Authenticity that provides pertinent details and an accurate description of the relic. I will continue to use The Russian Store and have already recommended my friends and colleagues to them.

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relics of Saint Didacus of Alcalá. The relic is affixed to a gilt paper starburst on the ground of red silk, surrounded by gilt paperole and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on manuscript cedula label as S. Didaci Con. (Saint Didacus, Confessor). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Francesco Gaetano Incontri (†1781), the Archbishop of Florence (p. 1741-1781), Italy.

Saint Didacus of Alcalá O.F.M. (Spanish: Diego de Alcalá) († 1463), also known as Diego de San Nicolás, was a Spanish Franciscan lay brother who served as among the first group of missionaries to the newly conquered Canary Islands. In 1450, he went to Rome to share in the Jubilee Year proclaimed by Pope Nicholas V, and to be present at the canonization of Bernardine of Siena. In addition to the vast crowds of pilgrims arriving in Rome for Jubilee Year, thousands of friars had headed to Rome to take part in the celebration of one of the pillars of their Order. An epidemic broke out in the city. Didacus served as infirmarian and spent three months caring for the sick at the friary attached to the Basilica of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli, and his biographers record the miraculous cure of many whom he attended through his pious intercession. He was then recalled back to Spain and was sent by his superiors to the Friary of Santa María de Jesús in Alcalá, where he spent the remaining years of his life in penance, solitude, and the delights of contemplation. Didacus was canonized by Pope Sixtus V in 1588, the first of a lay brother of the Order of Friars Minor. He is a Holy Patron of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego and Franciscan Lay Brothers. His feast day is celebrated on 13 November and on 7 November by the Franciscan Order in the United States and the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego.
