Saint Padre Pio Relic Card | Official San Giovanni Rotondo Capuchin Friary | Cloth Relic | Postulator Seal & Novena

An official relic card of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio, 1887–1968), issued by the Our Lady of Grace Capuchin Friary in San Giovanni Rotondo — the friary where Padre Pio lived for over fifty years and where his body rests today. This is the English edition (“Ed: Inglese”).

The cover shows the body of Saint Pio exposed for veneration in his glass and marble shrine beneath the San Damiano crucifix, with his dates of birth (Pietrelcina, 25 May 1887) and death (San Giovanni Rotondo, 23 September 1968). Set into the cover is a small round cloth relic of the saint.
