The other face is plain but for three lines of lettering, \u003cem\u003eST. MICHAEL PRAY FOR US\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis name is a question and a battle cry at once, who is like God, and the answer to it is the whole of what he does. Michael is the prince of the heavenly host, the one Revelation shows casting down the dragon, and he has been invoked against evil for as long as Christians have prayed. The scales are the other half of his office: at the judgment he weighs souls, and the same hand that fights holds the balance level. Soldiers, police officers and the sick claim him as patron, and Leo XIII's prayer for his defence is said at the end of Mass in many parishes still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Saint Michael medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in sterling silver 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":48943575138489,"sku":"3c3-1353-S","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1353-S.png?v=1787688757","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-sterling-silver-st-michael-the-archangel-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
