CALIFORNIA - A 780-year-old treasure honoring St. Anthony of Pauea has been stolen from a Southern California Catholic church. The relic, which is normally kept under lock and key, was brought out by the Rev. Jose Magana because he thought it might help his parishioners regain their faith during the difficult economic climate. In a bit of bitter irony, St. Anthony is known as the patron saint of lost things. A police lieutenant said "the relic is housed in a 16-inch reliquary case with angel-shaped handles made of gold and silver on either side." The reverend called the relic "invaluable," according to the AP. [link]
