Miraculous Medal

Medal of the Immaculate Conception The Miraculous Medal is a sacramental, a holy item blessed by the Church to give grace. It was given by the Mother of God through St. Catherine Laboure with the instruction that this devotion be spread throughout the Church. The inscription, “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee”, anticipated the definition of the Immaculate Conception by nearly a quarter of a century. The Miraculous Medal’s official title is the “Medal of the Immaculate Conception”; however, it quickly gained its popular title because of the numerous miracles that were reported by its devout use. This Miraculous Medal is a powerful symbol of faith and a timeless devotional piece, crafted to the precise design revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris in 1830. Wearing it with confidence is believed to bring special graces and divine protection. Imported from France. Words on the medal are in the original French. The most authentic rendition of the medal requested by Our Lady. Size: Sterling silver version is “7/8”. Nickel/silver version is approximately 1.625". The measurements do not include the bail, just the medal itself.
