This beautifully detailed Caritas et Fides™ Miraculous Medal has a durable, stunning blue enamel accent on the front. Measuring 1 inch in height, this medal is die-cast for exceptional detail, and silver oxidized with a rich, three dimensional silver plated finish as only the Italians in the central region of Italy have perfected. Know as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, the Miraculous Medal was created by the Blessed Mother and revealed to St. Catherine Laboure in an apparition. This medal is believed to bring special graces and intercessions on behalf of the Blessed Virgin Mary if worn with faith and devotion at the hour of death - especially when it is worn around one's neck.
