When visiting several churches and musea in Tuscany, Italy, we discovered some pieces of the patron saints of the woodworkers: Saint Thomas and Saint Joseph. The reliquary of St. Thomas likely contained another arm bone (his skeleton in Ortona is missing several arm bones), while that of St. Joseph contained an unknown piece of him. The containers for the reliquaries were 'modern', dating from the 17th and 18th century.
