Luke, the gospel writer, who is the patron saint of artists, butchers, doctors, glass workers, goldsmiths, jewelers, notaries, painters, physicians, surgeons and sculptors.
This St Luke medal is sterling silver, about the size of a nickel. The front of the saint medal depicts the image and name of Saint Luke, accompanied by a winged ox, since his gospel deals with the sacrificial aspects of Christ's life; and also because his version begins with a temple scene. The back of the medal is blank allowing for personalized engraving if you choose.
The medal comes on an 18 inch stainless steel chain with a clasp closure.
The Saint Luke medal comes packaged in a velvet textured hinged gift box.
Feast day, October 18.
