Each package contains 3 of these medals. This medal measures approximately 1.75" in height. These medals are made in Italy with silver oxidized plating that has a three dimensional depth and beautiful brilliance. Medals of this size are often added to a chain to wear as a necklace (chain not included). Medals can also be used to attach to rosaries with the included jump ring. The Miraculous medal is known as the medal of the Immaculate Conception. The design was created by the Blessed Mother Mary and revealed to St. Catherine Laboure in an apparition. Mary promises special graces to those who wear the miraculous medal with confidence - especially to those who wear it around their neck!
