Saint Catherine Laboure passed on to the world the image of the Miraculous Medal. In 1830, the Blessed Mother showed this devout French nun the medal She wished to have made promising,"All who wear these will receive great graces." Since then, hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world have worn the Miraculous Medal and have experienced the promised miracles and graces. Carry on the nearly two-century-old tradition of the miraculous medal wearing a uniquely shaped, 1/2-inch, antique, sterling silver, sacramental with Mary's prayer in its original French language. The back of the symbolic treasure, which has brought more than 100 years of blessing and the hope of salvation to its wearers, shows the traditional Marian signature and is displayed on a 16-inch, 1.2 mm sterling silver curb chain.
