St. Michael's feast day is September 29th, and he is the patron of police officers, for those in the armed forces, and the sick. This St. Michael medal is quarter sized, 1 inch in diameter, and is made of pewter. The front of the St. Michael medal depicts the image of St. Michael and the inscription 'St. Michael Pray For Us'. Our St. Michael medal comes with a 24 inch stainless steel endless chain which is the most popular sized chain for most men and boys over the age of 10. A great gift idea for First Communion or Confirmation or for that special police officer in your life and comes packaged on a display card.
