An oval double-crystal silver pendant reliquary theca housing relics from the Wood of the True Cross and the Holy Family: from the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her husband Saint Joseph, and her parents - Saint Anne and Saint Joachim. A relic of the True Cross is affixed to the center of the red silk background arranged in a cruciform shape surrounded on four sidesby other relics separated by gilt paperolle and silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on manuscript cedulae labels as Ex Velo B.M.V. // S. Joseph Sp. // S. Joachim P.V.M. // S. Annae M.V.M.(from the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary // S. Joseph Spouse // S. Joachim Father of the Virgin Mary // S. Anne Mother of the Virgin Mary). On the back, the theca is secured by a seal of red wax with a clear imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Giuseppe Bartolomeo Menocchio, O.E.S.A. (†1823), Titular Bishop of Porphyreon (1800–1823) and Sacristan of His Holiness Pope Pius VII. The reliquary is accompanied by a matching authentics document issued and signed by Bishop Menocchio in 1809. 

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and Bishop of Myra (270 - 343), was a historic 4th-century Saint and Greek Bishop of Myra. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian saints.
