1991 Documented reliquary theca with relics of St. Bernardino of Siena, the Apostle of Italy

Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus  (of the bone) relic of Saint Bernardino of Siena. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Bernardini Sen. (Saint Bernardino of Siena).  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 the Order of Friars Minor (OFM) . The relic is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued and sealed in 1991 by the Postulator General of the Order responsible for the Causes of Canonization. 

Saint Bernardino of Siena, also known as Bernardine (†1444) was an Italian priest and Franciscan missionary famous during his own lifetime for preaching against sorcery, gambling, infanticide, witchcraft, sodomy, Jews, and usury. Bernardino was later canonised by the Catholic Church as a saint - where he is also referred to as “the Apostle of Italy” - for his efforts to revive the country's Catholic faith during the 15th century. He is a patron saint of advertising, communications, compulsive gambling, respiratory problems, as well as any problems involving the chest area. He is the patron saint of Carpi, Italy; the Philippine barangays of Kay-Anlog in Calamba, Laguna and Tuna in Cardona, Rizal; and the diocese of San Bernardino, California, USA. Siena College, a Franciscan Catholic liberal arts college in New York, USA, was named after him and placed under his spiritual patronage. ​His Feast day is commemorated on May 20.
