This Miraculous medal portrays one of the most popular depictions of the Virgin Mary from the 1830 apparition of the Virgin to St. Catherine Laboure. On the front of the Miraculous medal is the image of the Holy Mother Mary with the words 'O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.' The back of the medal bears the Virgin Mary's monogram- the letter 'M' with a cross and 12 stars, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This Miraculous medal is made of pewter and measures approximately 1 inch long and comes on a 24 inch stainless steel endless chain which is the preferred length for most boys and men ages 10+. This powerful necklace will make a great gift for any religious occasion, especially First Communion and Confirmation. The medal comes packaged on a display card.
