St. Mary Magdalene is the patron of contemplative life, converts, penitent sinners, sexual temptation, and women; her feast day is July 22. St. Mary Magdalene is well known among Christians as being the reformed sinner who became a devoted follower of Jesus. This necklace commemorates the woman and reminds us of God's forgiveness and love. The St. Mary Magdalene medal is sterling silver and comes on an 18 inch chain which is a great size for girls 7+ and good for boys up to age 10. Patron saint medals are particularly popular for First Communions and are also great for Confirmations. Comes in a gift box.
