An elegant and authentic silver reliquary containing a sacred first-class relic (Ex Ossibus – from the bone) of Saint Natalia of Nicomedia, early Christian martyr of the Diocletian persecution. Saint Natalia is venerated for her unwavering faith and devotion to her husband Saint Adrian of Nicomedia, and for her own sufferings endured for Christ.

The relic is visibly marked with a printed label reading: "S. Nataliae M.", and is set on red silk fabric behind protective glass. It is secured with original red silk threads and the intact red wax seal of the Church, confirming its authenticity.
