Saint Jude, the patron saint of miracles and desperate needs, is honored in this beautifully crafted sterling silver medal. The 7/8" pendant features Saint Jude with a flame upon his head, holding a staff, symbolizing his role as the miracle worker who carries prayers to Jesus. Each medal is die-struck from the finest grade sterling silver by New England Silversmiths, allowing intricate details to shine through. Hand-polished with an antique finish, hand-engraved, and sealed with protective lacquer to resist tarnishing, this medal is a meaningful devotional piece. Comes with an 18" genuine rhodium-plated chain.
