Biographical: Born c. 182 AD, Perpetua was a young noblewoman and nursing mother living in Carthage. Despite her father’s pleas to recant her faith for the sake of her infant son, she refused to deny Christ. She was imprisoned and eventually martyred in the arena c. 203 AD. Her prison diary, which records her visions and her deep concern for her child, is one of the oldest and most moving accounts of early Christian martyrdom.
The Patroness of Mothers and New Life
Saint Perpetua is a tender and courageous intercessor for women navigating the physical and emotional journey of motherhood. Having maintained her faith while nursing her own child in prison, she is the primary advocate for pregnancy and healthy gestation. She is a dedicated patroness for breast health and provides comfort for those suffering from nursing pain or difficulties with lactation. Mothers turn to her intercession for postpartum recovery and for the healing of infant eye infections. Her oil is a sacramental of maternal strength and divine protection, intended to bring peace to the expectant heart, healing to the body, and the grace of health to both mother and child.

- Biblical Tradition: The use of relics is deeply rooted in Scripture, from the bones of Elisha (2 Kings 13:20-21) to the handkerchiefs of St. Paul (Acts 19:11-12). They serve as a physical conduit for faith, through which God has performed countless miracles.
The Biblical Significance of Nardo (Spikenard)
At the heart of our oil blend is Spikenard (Nardo), which we import directly from Israel. This oil holds a sacred place in Catholic tradition as the "precious ointment" used by St. Mary Magdalene to anoint the feet of Jesus (John 12:3). By using this same biblical oil, we aim to evoke the same spirit of devotion, healing, and preparation for the Lord’s work in your own life.
Premium Product Details
-
The Recipe: Our blend features Spikenard (Nardo) from Israel, Mediterranean olive leaf, and Rose or Lavender fragrance, all held in a premium Sweet Almond carrier oil. A fabric 3rd-class relic is submerged within the bottle.
-
Refillable: Because the fabric relic remains in the bottle, you may refill the vessel once it is empty. It will automatically become a 3rd-class relic oil upon contact with the relic. If you do not have access to specific oil blends, we recommend using Extra Virgin Olive Oil for your refills.
-
The Card: (If selected) 2 5/8in x 5 1/8in (67mm x 130mm). Handcrafted with 8mil photo paper and 5mil lamination with a clear-view relic window.
-
Usage Note: PLEASE SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Spikenard oil is naturally less viscous and will settle at the bottom; this is a sign of the oil's purity and biblical authenticity.
