1-7/16 Inch Two-Tone Sterling Silver Gold Border Four Way Medal

1-7/16 x 1 inch two-tone polished finish sterling silver Four Way medal on a 24 inch stainless steel rhodium plated chain. The medal pendant is shaped like a cross and has flower-shaped detailing on all ends. On the cross are the traditional symbols of the Four Way medal: St. Christopher, the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, and the Miraculous Medal. In the center of these symbols is a flower. On the back of the medal there is an image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on top and the Miraculous symbol on the bottom. In the center on the back there is text that reads, "Saint Christopher Pray For Us, Saint Joseph Pray For Us". The Our Lady symbol on the back also makes this medal scapular. Includes an elegant deluxe velour jewelry box.

The Four Way Medal: The Four Way Medal combines four medals that are significant to the Catholic Faith. The four symbols that make up the medal (each on an end of the cross) are: The Sacred Heart of Jesus which shows Jesus pointing to his exposed heart, which is crowned with thorns. This is a reminder of the great sacrifice Jesus made. St. Joseph is shown holding the baby Jesus and a lily. His image represents guardianship and protection, and the lily is a symbol of purity and righteousness. St. Christopher carries the baby Jesus and represents how we must carry the teachings of Jesus with us wherever we go. He also is the patron saint of long journeys. Finally, the Miraculous Medal depicts the Virgin Mary standing on top of the world crushing a snake. This represents the origins of Jesus, his kingship over the world, and how he conquered evil.
