The frame around her beaded roundel breaks into leaves, grape clusters and small fleur-de-lis, with a ribbon banner arching over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKateri was born in 1656 in the Mohawk Valley, the daughter of a Mohawk chief and an Algonquin Christian mother, and was orphaned and scarred by the smallpox that took them. She was baptized at twenty, and the hostility that followed drove her to the mission village of Kahnawake near Montreal, where she spent her last four years in prayer and penance and died at twenty-four. Called the Lily of the Mohawks, she was canonized in 2012 as the first Native American saint, and she is honored on both sides of the New York and Canada border as a patroness of ecology and of all who pray out of doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Saint Kateri rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943606890681,"sku":"3c3-1214-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1214-B.png?v=1787688769","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-saint-kateri-tekakwitha-rosary-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
