VA317211654161St Cecilia Medal

A special St. Cecilia pendant! We love the round shape of this medal and its hand etched border. The image of St. Cecilia with cherubs is in the center and the words ‘Saint Cecilia Pray for Us’ on the right top border.

Approximately 7/8″ in diameter (this includes the bail) which is similar to the size of an American quarter coin.

St. Cecilia is one of the oldest and most venerated saints of the church, and is the patron saint of musicians and singers. Gift boxed.

This is such a nice gift idea for anyone who is involved in or loves music. The oval shape of the pendant is designed with an image of the saint in the center, she is seated at a piano and is joined by a chorus of angels.

She is the patron saint of Musicians and Singers. St. Cecilia was given away for marriage by her parents to Valerian. She told him the secret that she has an angel protecting her from being touched by anybody. In order to see the angel he believed in God and was baptized. She spent the rest of her life converting several people to Christianity. She was arrested and was condemned to be sacrificed to suffocate in the baths of the city. However, she survived and was sentenced to be beheaded. After three strikes she was only injured but didn’t die. After three days, she died.
