The Miraculous Medal originated from the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830, at the convent on Rue du Bac in Paris. During these apparitions, Mary requested the creation of a medal according to a specific design, promising great graces to those who would wear it with faith. Very quickly, it was called the "miraculous medal" due to the many conversions, healings, and protections attributed to wearing it.
Wearing this medal is to embrace a strong sign of Mary's maternal tenderness, and a source of protection, faith, and comfort in trials. Today, it is one of the most widespread medals in the Christian world.
All our medals come with an eco-responsible textile cord, made from recycled plastic bottles.
