St. Christopher Medal.
A
large man from Palestine, he worked for a while helping
travelers ford a raging river, as
a human ferry.
One day a small child asked for this
service.
Perched on Christopher's shoulder, the child
grew heavier and heavier as they crossed the stream.
Reaching the other shore, Christopher asked him "Who
are you, that you placed me in such peril. It seems
I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders".
The child replied "You not only carried the
world, but him who made it.
I am Jesus Christ the
King". Travelers (July 25th).

Miraculous medal. The most popular medal of all time.
*In 1830 the Virgin Mary appeared to a nun named Sister (now Saint) Catherine Laboure in Paris & showed her a vision of this exact medal, which she directed to be struck & distributed. |
Our Lady of Perpetual Help medal.
Depicts the icon of the same name. One day two angels appeared to the toddler Jesus, holding in their hands the cross and the tools of the crucifixion.

Our Lady of Guadalupe medal.
In 1531, Mary appeared to Juan Diego in what is now Mexico City. She left a miraculous image of herself on the robe (tilma) he was wearing which survives to this day. It can be seen in the magnificent basilica in Mexico City which is visited by 20 million pilgrims per year. Scientist are unable to explain the image or how it got there. The medal is a reproduction of the image on the tilma. Mexico
