An older woman in a close veil fills the front, her face lined and lowered a little, set against a disc halo with \u003cstrong\u003eSANCTA MONICA\u003c\/strong\u003e lettered around the rim. There is nothing decorative about it, which suits the saint it names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonica prayed for her son Augustine through long years of his going his own way, and she is honored as the patroness of mothers, of wives, and of patience that outlasts everything. The Latin at the rim reads simply \u003cem\u003eSaint Monica\u003c\/em\u003e. The reverse answers the worked face with a single slender spray of lily in low relief, the flower of purity and of prayer that refuses to give up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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":48943404908729,"sku":"3c3-1601-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1601-B.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-monica-medal-with-lily","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
