1986 Documented reliquary theca with relic of St. Philip Benitius O.S.M.

Round glass-fronted white-metal reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of Saint Philip BenitiusA relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Phillipus Benizi C. (Saint Philip Benitius, Confessor).  On the back, under the protective cap, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of the Postulator General of the Order of Servants of Mary (The Servite Order). The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Order on 8 April 1986. 

Saint Philip Benitius OSM (Philip Benizi de Damiani) (†1285) was a general superior of the Order of the Servites, and credited with reviving the order. According to tradition, he encountered with an eighteen-year-old Peregrine Laziosi, the son of a Ghibelline leader, who was abusive towards Philip. However, Philip's meeting with the initially antagonistic youth inspired Peregrine to later join the Servites and lead a life of virtue that led to his canonization as a Saint. Pope Leo X had beatified him in 1516; and Pope Clement X canonized him as a saint in 1671. His feast day is celebrated on August 23.
