On the front is Dominic Savio, cast as a boy in a jacket and knotted tie with a rayed halo behind his head; on the reverse is John Bosco, the priest who taught him, in cassock and Roman collar. Both sit within a ring of beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front reads \u003cem\u003eBEATO DOMENICO SAVIO\u003c\/em\u003e, the reverse \u003cem\u003eS. JOANNES BOSCO\u003c\/em\u003e. Savio died at fourteen, having set himself to become a saint by doing ordinary things cheerfully and well, and Don Bosco wrote his life; between them they are the patrons invoked for children, for students and for young people in trouble. That word \u003cem\u003eBeato\u003c\/em\u003e dates the antique original neatly, since Savio was beatified in 1950 and canonized in 1954.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique Italian original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943569600697,"sku":"3c3-1362-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1362-B.png?v=1787688756","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-dominic-savio-and-st-john-bosco-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
