The relief is gentle and the face is given real attention. Around the rim runs \u003cem\u003eKATERI LILY OF THE MOHAWKS\u003c\/em\u003e, the name she has been known by for three centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is deliberately bare, its whole surface given over to her full name in two lines of raised block letters: \u003cem\u003eKATERI TEKAKWITHA\u003c\/em\u003e. Born at Ossernenon in Mohawk country and baptised at twenty, she lived out her few remaining years at Kahnawake and died there in 1680, remembered for a prayerfulness that persisted through illness, loss and the opposition of her own household. She was canonised in 2012 as the first Native American saint, and this medal is a warm way to keep her company.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. Kateri Tekakwitha 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.\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":48943556133049,"sku":"3c3-1439-B","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1439-B.png?v=1787688753","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-kateri-tekakwitha-medal-lily-of-the-mohawks-1439","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
