Handmade St. Jude Medal: Healer, Patron of Those in Difficult Times

This is a handmade medal of St. Jude. I design, carve, and cast the medals myself. The medals are made of lead-free pewter and have designs on both sides. The pendant comes with a jump ring (see photo 1), so it can easily be attached to any chain you have. This listing is for the pendant alone, but it does come with a split ring so it can also be used on a key chain (see photo of packaging). Each medal comes in a felt jewelry pouch with a history card that states:

"Of the original twelve apostles, St. Jude is the one most commonly called upon in prayer. Jude has evoked considerable attention and even amusement over the years because of his association with 'lost causes,' but there is, as millions know, a far more serious side to his patronage: Jude’s association with healing and bringing comfort to those in any type of difficult situation is one of the reasons so many hospitals and clinics have been named after him and why shrines to him are filled with symbols of his healing power of the body, mind, and spirit. The original of this small pendant of Jude was hand carved by Hank Schlau and then cast in lead-free pewter."
