Description
Size: 3/4 inch
Material: Sterling silver
This beautiful French medal shows St Philomena wearing a crown of roses. She holds arrows and a palm branch to symbolize her martyrdom, and an anchor representing faith is on the right. The spelling of her name, Philomene, is the French version of Philomena. The reverse has a stem of lilies which represent purity.
The body of St Philomena was found in 1802 during the course of an archaeological dig in the Catacombs of Priscilla in Rome. Her grave was covered with tiles marked with symbols indicating that it was the grave of a martyr named Philomena. It was determined that she was martyred at age 14 during the early days of the church. After her body was moved to a chapel in Mungano, Italy, many miracles were attributed to her intercession including the healing of illnesses, blindness, wounds, and the overnight cure of a severe heart ailment. She is the only person to be made a saint based solely on miraculous intercession and answer to prayers.
It was cast in sterling silver from an antique medal in the Rosa Mystica Collection so it shows all the beauty and history of the original piece. It comes with a matching holy card in an organza gift bag, ready for gift-giving, and was made in the USA.
St Philomena is the patron of:
Children
Against infertility
Women who want to be mothers
Babies
Toddlers

Beautiful medal. It’s a bit lighter than the Joan of Arc Medal I own but like the other medal, has a very nice antique authentic look and feel to it. I love the imagery itself as she reminds me of a greek goddess.

We had an infant in NICU on a ventilator with RSV. We hung the medal on his Christmas tree. Happy to report he is now on 2 liters oxygen, eating well and hopefully discharge ready before the new year. What a comfort.

Wonderful quality and beauty. This medal and St. Margaret are 2 of the 6 medals I purchased. The pregnancy & child birth medals were purchased specifically for my hope to defy nature and get pregnant, even though I’m post-menopausal (I went through menopause at a very early age). I had a dream about a son coming to me and felt significant physical changes, with warmth in my ovaries, as if they had woken up.
Since receiving the medals and wearing them 24/7 for the past 5 days, I’ve had menstrual-type cramps. Something is definitely going on! Will it result in a pregnancy? I don’t know, but if it does, I will certainly update my reviews.
I believe anything is possible with God, including pregnancy and childbirth later in life. 🙏🏼

Very nice quality, a little shinier in person. We had it engraved on the back, had to tilt the engraving sideways to fit due to the floral design on the back, but it ended up looking beautiful. SUPERB customer service, shipped super fast!

Hi
We are glad you were able to add an engraving. Since the medal is sterling silver it will lose the shine.
God bless
