This beautifully detailed round Miraculous Medal Our Father bead measures 13/16" in diameter. As the picture tells only part of the story, this bead is nicely detailed, silver oxidized and made in Italy. Known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, it was created by St. Catherine Laboure following a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This medal is believed to bring special intercessions on behalf of the Blessed Virgin Mary if worn with faith and devotion at the hour of death.
