My research: I showed this to a very knowledgeable person who buys and sells religious relics. He believes it is from the 19th century. The red wax seal insures the integrity of the relic. A seal with the Jerusalem or Crusader Cross indicates it was sealed by the Franciscan Custodians of the Holy Land.
Please note that this is only his opinion. I have not had it formally appraised.
