Medals and Pocket Tokens

Since the early years of the Church, Christians are believed to have worn medals with symbols of devotion such as crosses and other religious imagery. Today, medals are worn or displayed as a sign of devotion to a particular title of Our Lord or a saint. They serve as a reminder throughout the day to lift our hearts and minds in prayer to God. Some medals, once blessed, hold particular graces and indulgences for those who wear them.
