Reliquary theca with relics of Gerolamo Emiliani, founder of the Somascan Fathers

Round glass-fronted reliquary theca dating to 20th century housing second class ex arca lignea (from the wood of the casket) relics of Saint Gerolamo Emiliani. The relics are affixed to a red silk background and identified on a typographic cedula as Ex arca lignea / S. Hieronymi. Aem. (from the wood of the casket of Saint Gerolamo Emiliani). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is protected by a seal of red wax with a perfectly preserved imprint of a coat of arms of the Somascan Fathers.

 

Saint Gerolamo Emiliani (Hieronymus Emiliani) (†1537), was an Italian humanitarian, founder of the Somascan Fathers, and saint of the Roman Catholic Church​. He was canonized by Pope Clement XIII on July 16, 1767 and in 1928 Pius Xl named him the patron of orphans and abandoned children.
