Saint Candida of Rome, Martyr Large First-Class Bone Relic

Saint Candida of Rome, Martyr – Large First-Class Bone Relic

with Original Authentica, 1866

An impressive and substantial first-class bone relic of Saint Candida of Rome, Martyr, accompanied by its original ecclesiastical Authentica, issued in Mechelen, Belgium, on 20 July 1866.

Saint Candida of Rome belongs to the early Christian tradition of female martyrs venerated by the Catholic Church.

Historical records preserve the names of several Christian martyrs called Candida, associated with Rome and the ancient Church. Their veneration reflects the steadfast faith of the early Christians who endured persecution rather than renounce their devotion to Christ.

The original ecclesiastical documentation identifies this saint specifically as Saint Candida of Rome, Martyr (S. Candidae Romanae, M.).

The relic consists of a large, naturally curved fragment of bone measuring approximately 4.5 cm in length.

The fragment displays a substantial preserved outer cortical surface, with visible natural bone texture and irregular fractured edges.

It is accompanied by its original nineteenth-century folded paper wrapper, inscribed with the name of Saint Candida. Remnants of the original red ecclesiastical wax seals remain attached to the wrapper.

The relic is accompanied by its original Latin ecclesiastical Authentica, dated 20 July 1866, issued under the authority of the Cardinal-Archbishop of Mechelen, Primate of Belgium, and Cardinal-Priest of San Bartolomeo all'Isola in Rome.

The certificate explicitly identifies the relic as:

S. Candidae Romanae, M.

Saint Candida of Rome, Martyr.

The document retains its original embossed ecclesiastical seal and handwritten signatures.
