1994 Vatican documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Peter Fourier & St. Joseph Oriol, the Thaumaturgus of Barcelona

Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relics of St. Peter Fourier & St. Joseph Oriol. The relics are affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on typeset cedulae labels as S. Petri Four. C.  / S. Joseph Oriel  St. Peter Fourier Confessor & St. Joseph Oriol).  On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Camillo Ruini in the capacity of the Vicar General of Rome. The relic is accompanied by an original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1994 by Fr. Ruini. 

Saint Peter Fourier (†1640) was a French canon regular who is honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Foregoing offers of high office, he served for many years as an exemplary pastor in the village of Mattaincourt in the Vosges. He was a strong proponent of free education and also helped to found a religious congregation of canonesses regular dedicated to the care of poor children, developing new pedagogy for this. Peter Fourier was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII in 1730 and canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1897. His feast day is celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church on 9 December, the anniversary of his death.

Saint Joseph Oriol (José Orioli or Sant Josep Oriol)(†1702) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest who is called the "Thaumaturgus of Barcelona". He was ordained as a priest on 30 May 1676. He visited Rome in 1686 and was granted a benefice in the church of Santa Maria del Pi in Barcelona at the behest of Pope Innocent XI. Wanting to experience martyrdom, he went to Rome in April 1698 to offer himself for the foreign missions but he fell sick at Marseilles and returned to Barcelona. He was said to have prophetic and miraculous powers. The dying, the blind, the deaf and dumb, the lame, and the paralytic, were said to be instantly cured by him. He was beatified by Pius VII in 1806, and canonized by Pius X in 1909. His feast occurs on 23 March.
