Description
Here is the most fantastic and well-maintained triple display stand for the relics of three saints of France. It contains relics of Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Louise de Marillac, and Saint Catherine Laboure. Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660) was a priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. Saint Louise de Marillac (1591-1660) worked with Vincent de Paul to found the Daughters of Charity. Saint Catherine Laboure (1806-1876) was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary and told to help create the Miraculous Medal. This item consists of a round golden metal floral inner frame, surrounding the relics, set into a white onyx octagonal plaque which has a golden metal back stand. The item stands about 4 inches (10 cm) in height, and the same in width. The item is in perfect and displayable condition with no dirt, chips or cracks.
