Reliquary theca with relic of Blessed Sebastian Valfrè C.O., Apostle of Turin

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class Ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Blessed Sebastian Valfrè. A relic is affixed to a gold silk ground, surrounded by a silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. B. Seb. Valfrè (of the bone of Blessed Sebastian Valfrè ). On the back, the reliquary is secured by the perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Emilio Cugini (†1872), Bishop (from 1855 - Archbishop) of Modena, Italy.

Blessed Sebastian Valfrè (1629–1710), born in Verduno, Italy, to a poor farming family, overcame hardship to study at the University of Turin, earning a doctorate in theology in 1656. Joining the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri in 1651, he was ordained a priest in 1652. Known as the "Apostle of Turin," he served the poor, sick, and soldiers with great charity, notably during the 1678–80 famine and Turin’s 1706 siege. A devoted confessor and preacher, he repaired the Shroud of Turin in 1694 and inspired the Basilica of Superga. Beatified in 1834, his relics rest in Turin’s Oratory Church.
