Reliquary - Alloy, Paper, Textile, Glass - 1990-2000 - Saint Matthew (Apostle)

Relic Cloth of Saint Matthew, with a wax seal and silk threads; shipping will be free and will be carried out by Poste Italiane.

Matthew (Capernaum, circa 4/2 B.C. – Ethiopia, 70 or 74) was, according to the Gospels, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to tradition, the author of the Gospel according to Matthew. In this same gospel he is called "the publican" and described as a tax collector before Jesus' call; in Mark and Luke the same publican is called Levi, even though he is not explicitly identified with the apostle Matthew.

The reliquary does not contain human remains.
