Product Details

The Vintage Bronze St. Charles Lwanga Medal is one of the most direct pieces we carry. Charles Lwanga is shown in profile, head and shoulders only, rising out of tall flames that fill the lower half of the field, and around the rim runs S. CAROLVS LWANGA MART. PATRONVS ACT. CATH. IN AFRICA — Saint Charles Lwanga, martyr, patron of Catholic Action in Africa.

Lwanga was a young man of the royal household at Buganda who was burned with his companions at Namugongo in 1886 and canonised in 1964, so the flames on this medal are not symbolic; they are the account of what happened to him. The reverse turns to the Virgin seated with the Child standing on her knee, lettered SANCTA MARIA ADIUVA NOS, Holy Mary, help us. Together the two faces hold a martyr's courage and a mother's help in a single hand.

The St. Charles Lwanga medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.

  • Made in the USA
  • Artisan-cast from an antique original
  • Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
  • Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
  • Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
  • Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
