There are several recognized St. Samuels, one of which is St. Samuel who was part of Elias and his Companions. This group would go and visit condemned Christians to give them comfort and strength. The men were eventually accused of being Christians themselves and were put to death. St. Samuel's feast day is celebrated along with these companions on February 16. This penny-sized sterling silver St. Samuel medal features an image of St. Samuel and his name on the front of the medal. Subtle grey antiquing makes the image and name pop out; the 24 inch stainless steel endless chain is rhodium-plated to preserve its brilliance. The back of the St. Samuel medal has been left blank to allow for personalized engraving, which we offer at St. Patrick's Guild for the reasonable price of $9.95. Packaged in a green velvet hinged jewelry box, patron saint medals make a great religious gift for First Communion and Confirmation!
