Celebrate the profound spiritual influence of Saint John of the Cross with this beautifully detailed sterling silver medal from the Oval Patron Series. Recognized as the Patron Saint of Contemplatives, Saint John of the Cross is revered for his deep mysticism and writings that guide the soul toward divine union. Measuring 3/4 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide, this finely crafted medal features a hand-engraved image of the saint, symbolizing a commitment to inner peace, faith, and spiritual discipline. Made in the USA, this piece reflects exceptional American craftsmanship and adheres to strict quality standards. The medal is crafted from .925 sterling silver—composed of at least 92.5% pure silver and enhanced with copper for added durability—ensuring a balance of elegance and strength. It comes paired with a 24-inch rhodium-plated heavy curb chain made of solid brass and finished with a secure lobster claw clasp. The rhodium plating resists tarnish and adds a polished luster that complements the medal's sacred design. Perfect for seminarians, clergy, contemplatives, or anyone seeking spiritual guidance, this medal is suitable for everyday wear, prayer, and religious milestones such as Confirmation, retreats, or ordination. Arriving in a deluxe velvet gift box, it makes a meaningful gift or treasured keepsake for those devoted to faith and reflection.
