Patron Saints, because they have already transcended to the metaphysical, are able to intercede effectively for the needs of their special charges. Some consider it a special devotion to God by displaying humility in asking a saint for intercession rather than expecting to be answered themselves.
These traditional medals are made from the highest-grade pewter. Every Medal comes with a 24" stainless steel chain and in a jewelry box.
