£110.00

A rare antique Catholic devotional relic card associated with Saint Clare of Assisi, Virgin and Foundress of the Poor Clares.

This beautifully preserved historical paper relic packet bears an inscription referring to the sepulchral dust collected from the urn from which the body of Saint Clare of Assisi was removed on 23 September 1850.

The original Italian inscription reads:

“Polvere delle Pietre Sepolcrali raccolte nell’Urna d’onde il 23 Settembre 1850, fu levato il Corpo di Santa CHIARA d’Assisi Vergine e Fondatrice.”

The card is a remarkable example of traditional Catholic devotional material connected with the veneration of Saint Clare and the discovery of her remains in Assisi.

Its aged paper, antique printing, ornamental border and historical inscription give it the character of a genuine 19th-century devotional object.
