munditia

`` munditia is also a genus in the family turbinidae . ''
saint munditia -lrb- mundita -rrb- is venerated as a christian martyr .
her relics are found in a side altar at st. peter 's church -lrb- known as `` old peter , '' `` alter peter '' -rrb- in munich .
they consist of a gilt-covered and gem-studded skeleton , located in a glass case , with false eyes in her skull , which is wrapped in netting .
jewels cover the mouth of the relic 's rotten teeth .
her relics were translated to munich from rome in 1675 from the catacombs of cyriaca .
they were transferred to her baroque era-shrine which was consecrated on september 5 , 1677 .
the inscription on the stone slab that originally sealed the arcosolium in the catacombs and that is now located below the head of the skeleton reads : the meaning of `` apc '' is unclear .
the roman document of authenticity states that it means `` ascia plexa capita '' -lrb- `` beheaded with a hatchet '' -rrb- , describing the manner of her martyrdom .
apc may also refer to : `` andronico probo consulibus '' , referring to the fact that she died during the consulate of andronicus and probus , thus making her date of death 310 ce .
in 1804 , her relics were concealed behind a wooden shrine , but this was removed in 1883 , restoring interest in her cult .
her feast day is now celebrated annually with a high mass and a procession with candles .
