His cause for canonization was opened on 18 November 1965 by his successor, Pope Paul VI, who declared him a Servant of God. On 5 July 2013, Pope Francis – bypassing the traditionally required second miracle – declared John XXIII a saint, based on his virtuous, model lifestyle, and because of the good which had come from his opening of the Second Vatican Council. He was canonized alongside Pope John Paul II on 27 April 2014. John XXIII today is affectionately known as "the Good Pope. The phrase ex indumentis is Latin for "from the clothing", most commonly used when referring to Second Class holy relics of saints or blessed individuals. Example of a modern religious medal improperly marked "Ex Indumentis" that is not truly "from the clothing" of the saint. When we touch the relic of a saint, the object itself isn't healing; rather, God's intercession through the object performs the blessing. The reason why we value the possessions of saints above other holy figures and leaders is because of their canonization. Second Class. These relics are items touched by a saint, also known as “contact relics.” Examples of second-class relics can include clothing or a rosary the saint used for prayer. Second Class relics are “non-bodily” items directly associated with particular saints. This category includes clothing, vestments, hand-written letters, chalices, rings, and so on. This Vintage Medal is in good pre-owned condition- will show normal signs of previous use.
