Each beautifully designed medal is stamped in heavy gauge bronze and finished in a heavy silver plating that is thick enough to be engraved. The medals are rubbed with a soft patina to give them the distinct 'Py look.'

The Our Lady of Lourdes medal comes in a jewelry box with a 24" chain.

The First of the 18 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to the humble Bernadette took place at Lourdes on February 11, 1858.  On March 25th, when Bernadette asked the beautiful Lady her name, she replied: "I am the Immaculate Conception."

Latin: N D Lourdes (nostre dames Lourdes) P.D.N (have pity on us)
