Vatican Reliquary theca with relics of Martyr Saint Lucia of Syracuse, Protectress in Epidemics

Round white-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relics of Saint Lucia of Syracuse. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Luciae, V. Mart. (Saint Lucia, Virgin & Martyr).  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 Ugo Poletti (†1997), Cardinal Vicar General of Rome (1973–1991).

She is one of eight women, who along with the Blessed Virgin Mary, are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass.
