This Miraculous Medal is a tiny "document" on Mariology, the study of Mary, the Mother of God!
Memorial for Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is November 27.
"Each symbol on the Medal means something." (see the Jpeg below for the complete information). The Miraculous Medal is not magical, but wearing it and meditating on its symbolism can bring about greater faith, hope and purity. (this is true for any holy medal and Christian token) The symbols on the medal include the RAYS coming from the rings on her fingers, the PRAYER around the frame of the medal, the GLOBE that Mary is standing on, the STARS on the back, along with the TWO HEARTS and the M with the CROSS. Please, check out the jpeg link below.
three styles are available here:
1) - silver oxide, regular size, 1 inch tall
2) - silver oxide, extra large, 1.75 inches tall (the "white" spot below Mary's knee is just the reflection of her bended knee)
3) - gold plated, regular size, 1 inch tall

All medals and crucifixes are silver oxide (unless noted otherwise), which is a silver plated zinc alloy. **For the longest shine, you may want to coat your silver oxide medals with a clear coat of clear nail polish. The thin coating of silver oxide will eventually wear off.** They are quality Italian made, and the medals are approx. 1 inch tall and 5/8 inch wide.
