St. Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes. This exceptionally detailed die-cast St. Sebastian Protect Me medal was specifically designed as a special gift and sacramental for athletes. It is made in the region of Italy that produces the finest quality medals in the world. The silver oxidized finish is has been perfected for hundreds of years by the local Italian craftsmen, and remains unmatched in quality, beauty, and longevity -a genuine silver plating with a 3-dimensional depth, and long-lasting brilliance. Attached jump ring is included. Makes a perfect gift for any athlete, team, league or group - regardless of the sport or activity! (Please note: while these medals sell for a bit more than our very low prices on others, we had to invest nearly triple what we normally do for other medals due to costs to create the mold. They are still a great deal - and better quality - when compared to others we've found!)
