Miraculous Medal, Gold-Plated Metal – Marian Protection and Devotion – 18 mm

A small gold-tone Miraculous Medal filled with meaning

Since the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Labouré in Rue du Bac, Paris, in 1830, the Miraculous Medal has become one of the most cherished symbols of Marian devotion. This gold-tone metal medal combines a warm shine with a compact format, allowing a meaningful sign of faith to be worn close to the heart without appearing overly prominent.

Religious details on both sides

The front depicts the Virgin Mary standing with open arms in a welcoming gesture. The rays flowing from her hands symbolise the graces given by God. The image is surrounded by a Latin Marian prayer asking for Mary’s intercession.

The reverse brings together the principal symbols of the traditional Miraculous Medal. The M joined to the cross recalls the bond between Mary and Christ. The two Hearts represent the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, while the twelve stars evoke the Woman crowned with stars in the Book of Revelation.

A sign of faith, not a lucky charm

This medal is neither a magical object nor a promise of guaranteed protection. It is a visible expression of Christian faith, encouraging prayer, hope and trust in God. Worn each day, it gently recalls Mary’s maternal love and her invitation to follow Christ.

A meaningful spiritual gift
