A remarkable early 20th-century Catholic devotional relic associated with Saint Paul the Apostle, accompanied by a historical ecclesiastical authentication document issued in Jerusalem in 1919.

The relic is housed in an ornate, star-shaped metal theca with a decorative silver-tone finish. Beneath the glass, a small fragment rests against a red fabric background, accompanied by the identifying inscription “S. Pauli Ap.” — Saint Paul the Apostle.

Historical Provenance

The accompanying Latin ecclesiastical document is dated 9 April 1919 and was issued in Jerusalem under the authority of Philippus Maria Camassei, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1906 to 1919.

Its historical date and connection to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem make it an important part of the item's provenance.

The original document accompanies the relic and provides valuable historical context for collectors of Catholic devotional objects and ecclesiastical memorabilia.
