The relics of St. Christine, a third-century Roman girl who was martyred after giving some of her father's wealth to the poor, were recovered in the eighteenth century in a Roman catacomb and translated to Cleveland in 1925. They are now kept in a glass reliquary trimmed in gold leaf in St. John's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

In 1992, the remains of St. Christine were stolen by "a well dressed man." They were later recovered by a patrolman in the parking lot of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, also in Cleveland. The New York Times ran an article about the recovery, as follows:
