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.\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\n\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\u003eArrives in a CatholicShop gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet is a handmade rolo chain in bronze-finished brass with a lobster clasp, 8 inches long, with 6 mm oval links.
