Reliquary - Alloy - 1850-1900 - St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Circular reliquary shrine in silvered metal, containing a relic attributed to Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, known as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897). The relic is displayed on a small white support, at the center of a gold fabric backdrop, topped by a portrait of the saint. A handwritten titulus bears the Latin inscription: “S. Theresiae a Jesu Infante.” On the reverse, the reliquary retains its ecclesiastical seal in red wax, stamped with coat of arms, as well as its four metal attachments. The sealing shows an old alteration along its edge. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, French Carmelite, is one of the most venerated saints in Catholicism. Known for her spirituality of the “little way,” based on humility and trust in God, she was canonized in 1925 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1997. Condition: Good overall condition, with a patina of age. The photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow you to assess its state and characteristics. Please examine them carefully before any commitment. The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery. Happy bidding In accordance with canon law (can. 1190 §1), this sale concerns only the reliquary as a sacred art object. The relics it contains are not the subject of the transaction, but are included gratuitously for their historical and cultural value.
