This ornate die-cast rosary center piece features a Miraculous Medal. It measures 1 and 3/4 inch in height, is silver oxidized and was made in Italy. Known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, 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.
