Product Details
The St. Philomena and St. John Vianney Medal sets two friends of heaven on one small rectangular plaque. The front shows Philomena in profile within an arched niche, haloed, a palm branch held down at her side and a lily stem rising beside her. The reverse carries the bust of a haloed priest in cassock and collar, facing the viewer.
The pairing has a history behind it. John Vianney, the parish priest of Ars-sur-Formans, credited Saint Philomena with the favors granted at his door and raised a shrine to her there, sending pilgrims to her rather than to himself. Her palm is the sign of martyrdom and her lily the sign of virginity; he is the patron of parish priests, and this medal is often carried by those asking for perseverance in a quiet vocation.
This 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.
- Arrives in a CatholicShop gift box
The bangle is brass with a bronze finish, 65 mm across, and expandable — slide it wider or narrower so it sits where you like on the wrist. The charm hangs from a split ring and turns freely as you move.
Charm size: 5/8 inches tall
The charm on its own
