Relic of Saint Edmund of Canterbury: His Arm is in Mystic, Connecticut

The Arm of Saint Edmund




The arm of Saint Edmund of Canterbery is located in the Chapel of Our Lady of Assumption at Saint Edmund’s Retreat in Mystic, Connecticut. The arm is displayed in an oblong glass container in the chapel.

The chapel also has a small relic collection:



 
Saint Edmund was a former Archbishop of Canterbury.

St. Edmund's Retreat is located on a little island near Mystic, Connecticut.
Enders Island is easily accessible by car; drivers with GPS units should punch in "99 Yacht Club Road" in Mystic. Parking is free, and some of the buildings are handicap accessible. Mass is held daily and the Blessed Sacrament is reserved for veneration in the chapel 24 hours a day.

More than 250 relics of Catholic saints are being given away in Canada:

 Over the past ten years, though, Debra Majer of the Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario has had a somewhat unusual job – finding homes for the more than 250 remains of saints that have been warehoused in her basement office.

Each relic is contained in the theca, a small metal vessel, and can be seen through a window. The vessels are sealed with wax which matches the seal of a cardinal on an accompanying documents. If a red thread that crosses the back of the relic is broken, that means that relic’s authenticity has been compromised.

Most of Saint Frances Cabrini’s body is now displayed under glass in altar at St. Frances Cabrini Shrine, in Washington Heights area of Manhattan. Mother Cabrini’s bones are encased in a wax replica of her body.  Her body was one of 31 bodies & body parts that Vatican mummification team worked on between 1975 & 2008 in an effort to improve the mummification processes they use to preserve holy relics.

The Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus is a ministry of the Dominican friars, Province of St. Albert the Great.

History Of The Relic Of St. Jude Thaddeus, Apostle And Patron Saint Of Hopeless Cases

After he was martyred, the body of St. Jude Thaddeus was buried temporarily in Mesopotamia and later given permanent interment in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome with the other Apostles. At some point, his forearm was encased in a silver reliquary and located for many centuries in Armenia. At the beginning of the 18^th century, Armenian Dominican missionaries fled their country in the face of religious persecution and brought the relic to Smyrna, Turkey.

The relic was then given to the Provincial of the Dominican Province of St. Peter Martyr in Turin, Italy. In 1949, the relic was presented to the Dominican Province of St. Albert the Great for permanent display and veneration at the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus at St. Pius V Church in Chicago, where regular Novenas drew crowds of faithful and had since its founding at the start of the Great Depression. This devotion, once the response to the deep faith of a single Dominican continues today among the thousands who pray for the intercession of St. Jude Thaddeus at the Shrine, on line, on line and during Novenas.

Saint Jude Oil:

You can make a donation to obtain a bottle or bottles of Saint Jude Oil at this link:

They accept payment via your bank account (one-time payment), your debit card (Visa, Mastercard or other) or a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or other). 


Blessing with St. Jude Oil, or if you will oil blessed with the Arm Relic of St. Jude, is a common practice among the Friends of St. Jude. Since it is NOT the Sacramental of the Anointing of The Sick, any baptized Catholic can impart this blessing. Blessings with oil touched to a relic or the tomb of one our great Saints has been a practice in the Church for over 14 centuries. The formula we recommend for use with St. Jude Oil is:
“Through the powerful intercession of St. Jude, apostle and martyr, may you be delivered for all hopelessness and despair and may God grant you every healing of body and soul, in the name of the Father+, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
The proper gesture for making the sign of the Cross for lay people during a blessing like is to make a small Cross on the forehead of the person being blessed.

Saint Francis: Brooklyn, New York - December 2014 - January 2015

ST. FRANCIS IN NEW YORK

The Canticle of Creatures and other Franciscan manuscripts from the 13th century.
A unique exhibition in the United States.
For the first time at the Brooklyn Borough Hall in Brooklyn, New York.

December 2014 - January 2015

"Friar Francis: Traces, Words and Images." This is the title of an exhibition that will be held in New York, at the Brooklyn Borough Hall (December 2, 2014-January 14, 2015).

It is the first time that manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries and Papal Bulls relating to the Saint of Assisi will be on show in the U. S.

The exhibition consists of 19 artifacts from the Ancient Fund of the City Library of Assisi, partof the library of the Sacred Convent in Assisi.

The heart of the exhibition is the Codex 338, a collection of the first writings and documents relating to St. Francis and the order of the Friars Minor, containing The Canticle of Creatures, considered the starting point of Italian literature. Each year some six million people visit the Basilica of St. Francis, about 40 percent of them Americans. This is proof that Franciscan spirituality has again become a reference point and model for many people, thanks, above all, to Pope Francis, who puts the message of the Saint of Assisi into practice. The exhibition allows the visitor to get to better know, appreciate and understand Francis of Assisi, who is known to the world as a man and saint of the people, of peace and fraternity.

The exhibition is divided into three sections.

- The first, "Traces", includes documents which closely illustrate the historic journey of the saint. The cornerstone of this part of the exhibition is the Codex 338, a miscellany that contains the oldest existing copies of the writings of the Saint of Assisi. Deriving from the 13th century, it contains, among other objects, the 12 chapters of the Regula fratrum minorum, o

r, the Rule of the Friors Minor, approved in 1223 by Pope Honorius III, with which Francis gave to the brothers in the community a spiritual direction and a series of practical norms by which to govern their daily lives. Manuscript 338 also contains the Laudes creaturarum, better known as The Canticle of Creatures, considered the first work in the ancient Italian vulgate and which has been recognized since the 18th century as the oldest poetic text of Italian literature. 

The first part of the exhibition also includes several Papal Bulls, including one from the year 1220 where the saint's name appears in an official document for the first time.

- The second section of the exhibition, "Words," includes the oldest biographies of the saint, among them several rare codices and a fragment of the Vita beati Francisci by Tommaso da Celano, the oldest work dedicated to St Francis. 

This section also includes the extremely rare Memoriale in desiderio animae o Vita Seconda from 1247, copies from the early 14th century of the Legenda Maior e la Legenda Minor by Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, and the Fioretti di San Francesco, the celebrated hagiography of Francis in the Italian vulgate, which is characterized by a idealized, popular, portrayal of  the saint which is still used today in many languages.

- The third section, "Images", consists of a selection of miniature illustrated codices depicting the saint of Assisi. Among these is an antiphonary, a Franciscan breviary, a missal and the Bible of Giovanni da Parma.

Starting with words that tell the story of the Franciscan friar, the exhibition continues with images that celebrate sanctity with documents that use language and beauty to simplify and spread the spiritual physiognomy of the saint.

December 12-13, 2014         Culver Center of the Arts, Riverside, California

This multidisciplinary conference engages historic and contemporary Latin American and Latino visual, material, and ritual cultural practice. Over thirty papers from national and international scholars and artists will address many dimensions of religious materiality in the Latin American and Latino context: relics, devotional practice, borderlands religiosities, pilgrimage and iconography, visual and votive culture, agentive objects, contemporary engagements with the Virgin of Guadalupe, transgressive saints, colonial material cultures, and sacred objects and materials of the pre-Hispanic period. Plenary sessions will include conversations with the artist and national/international scholars. One conference session will be held in Spanish for the larger public.

The conference coincides with an exhibit of the work of Mexican-British artist, Alinka Echeverría, at the California Museum of Photography (November 1, 2014–January 24, 2015). Echeverría’s photographs explore the relationship of visual, religious, and material culture in Mexico, considering in particular the power of the Guadalupe icon.

Organized by Jennifer Nájera (Ethnic Studies, UCR) and Jennifer Scheper Hughes (History, UCR).

Virgin of the Poor Shrine
Town of New Hope

Phone: 423-837-7068

The Shrine of the Virgin of the Poor is a replica of the shrine in Banneaux, Belgium. The origin is as follows:
During the winter of 1933, the Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl in Banneux Belgium eight times. During one visit she led Mariette to a spring and told her: "Plunge your hands into the water. This spring is reserved for me." During another visit Mariette asked her who she was, and she replied, "I am the Virgin of the Poor." The Virgin again led Mariette to the spring, and said, "This is reserved for all nations, for the sick."
During the fourth visit, the Virgin said she would like a little chapel built and made the sign of the cross.
The local shrine was made under the direction of a Benedictine monk, Father Basil Mattingly. The statue of the Virgin Mary was purchased in Banneux, Belgium.
The shrine is open from sunrise to sunset every day.
We do not have a street address but directions are as follows:
From I-24 at South Pittsburgh take SR 156 East 2.2 miles to Burns Island Road. Left one mile, then follow the shrine signs.

Shrine in California

Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows
745 Ware Ave.
Colusa, CA. 95932 

Site of the first Catholic mass to be said in Colusa County in May of 1856.
In 1864, a Catholic mission was conducted and a large wooden cross erected to commemorate the occasion. Masses, pilgrimages and visits were made here continuously thereafter.
In order to preserve the identity of the place, Father Michael Wallrath, the first pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, secured a deed from Mrs. Anna Myers to this parcel of land and constructed a small shrine from hand kilned bricks in 1883.
The present cross was erected by the Knights of Columbus and replaced the one erected here in 1864.
