This 5/8' oval Miraculous Medal is a great addition to a favorite bracelet, charm bracelet, or child's necklace. The image on the medal was given to St. Catherine Laboure in 1830 by the Blessed Mother. Originally known as the Immaculate Conception medal, it came to be called the Miraculous Medal because of the vast number of conversions and miracles occurring to those who wore it. A thoughtful gift for anyone.
