Rare Catholic Reliquary Cross – St. Anthony Mary Claret Founder Relic Intact

This rare antique Catholic reliquary cross pendant features a devotional relic of Saint Anthony Mary Claret, founder of the Congregation of Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Claretians).
Crafted in a traditional trefoil design with ornate detailing, the cross contains a central compartment with a visible paper label reading:
“M. CLARET CONF. & FOUNDER”
This identifies the relic as belonging to Saint Claret, canonized in 1950 and known for his missionary work, spiritual writings, and founding of the Claretians.
The relic itself—a small fragment, likely cloth—is affixed to a red emblem within the compartment. The chamber remains undisturbed, preserving its devotional integrity. Raised letters and symbolic engravings adorn the outer cross, adding to its spiritual and historical significance.
This piece does have vintage wear, tarnish and patina but for its age it is in good condition. Please look at the photos for condition and features before you purchase.
