A glass case contains the mummified remains of St. Innocentus, a 6-or-7 year old child martyred by the Romans in the early 2nd century. The case is part of a shrine dedicated to the young saint.

This Saint Innocent looks exactly like the St. Innocent who used to be in the side chapel of St. Joseph Seraphic Seminary, Westmont, Illinois (1927-1978) That seminary was destroyed in 1993. How did this relic get to Washington, DC, and what were the previous-locations where it was displayed ?
