150 years ago, young St. Bernadette, just 14 years old, witnessed the appearance of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, eighteen times in five months near a cave in a small mountainous town in Southern France named Lourdes. Bernadette’s extraordinary faith compelled her to obey the instruction of Mary to drink from a nonexistent fountain in the grotto. She scratched in the dry gravel and healing waters began to flow. Today, the healing waters attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from all faiths in search of physical, emotional and spiritual hope. In the Sanctus Collection, the Lady of Lourdes medal captures Mary in stunning portrait on the front and young St. Bernadette kneeling at the grotto in Lourdes on the back in vivid detail, commemorating the 150 year anniversary of the miracle.

(d. 1st century) While little is known about St. Jude, one of the twelve apostles, his universal invocation for help in impossible or hopeless causes persists today with his patronage for desperate cases. Some believe his help originates from his letter in the New Testament which encourages perseverance in harsh and difficult circumstances. While related to Jesus, as the nephew of Joseph and Mary, and resembling him physically, he questioned Jesus at the Last Supper, why, after the Resurrection, Jesus would not manifest himself to the entire world. He preached the Gospel through Mesopotamia, Syria and Persia and suffered martyrdom in Armenia, under Persian rule. Armenia eventually converted to Christianity in the 3rd century. We celebrate St. Jude and perseverance with a handsome Venetian interpretation of this highly celebrated saint.
