This one you reach for. The Miraculous Medal traces back to 1830, when Our Lady of Grace appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in Paris and asked that it be struck, promising great graces to everyone who would wear it with faith. This piece sets that sacred image inside a Victorian \"cameo\" frame, pairing a devotion nearly 200 years old with the quiet elegance of a family heirloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oval, double-sided medal is die struck in solid .925 sterling silver and hand polished to a brilliant finish by New England Silversmiths. The front shows Our Lady with rays streaming from her extended hands, the serpent crushed beneath her feet. The reverse carries the traditional Miraculous Medal design. It arrives in a deluxe velvet gift box with your choice of an 18\" or 20\" surgical stainless steel chain or upgrade to a luxurious sterling silver chain, ready to give for a Confirmation, a First Communion, a Baptism, or Mother's Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;

Those rays are the graces she obtains for anyone who asks. Her foot rests on the head of a serpent, the image from Genesis of her role in crushing sin and evil. Around the edge runs the prayer she gave us: \"O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe back.\u003c\/strong\u003e A large letter M is joined to a cross, a picture of Mary standing beside her Son at Calvary.
