1-1/4 Inch Antique Satin Finish Silver Plated Engraved Five Way Medal
1-1/4 x 7/8 inch satin and antiqued finish silver plated engraved Five Way medal on a 24 inch stainless steel rhodium plated chain. The medal pendant is shaped like a cross and has an antiqued finish dove in the center of the cross. There are four raised and engraved symbols on each end of the cross: St. Christopher, the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, and the Miraculous Medal. The addition of the dove allows this medal to also be considered a Five Way medal as the dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. On the back of the medal there is an image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on top, followed by the text, "I am a Catholic, Please Call a Priest," which signifies the wearer's wish in case of an emergency. On the bottom is the Miraculous symbol. The Our Lady symbol on the back also makes this medal scapular. Includes a blue Singer presentation box.
The Five Way Medal:The Five Way Medal combines four medals that are significant to the Catholic Faith and either adds in a Sacred Heart symbol or a Dove representing the Holy Spirit in the center. Either of these symbols in the center makes the medal a Five Way medal. The four symbols that make up the medal (each on an end of the cross) are: The Sacred Heart of Jesus which shows Jesus pointing to his exposed heart, which is crowned with thorns. This is a reminder of the great sacrifice Jesus made. St. Joseph is shown holding the baby Jesus and a lily. His image represents guardianship and protection, and the lily is a symbol of purity and righteousness. St. Christopher carries the baby Jesus and represents how we must carry the teachings of Jesus with us wherever we go. He also is the patron saint of long journeys. Finally, the Miraculous Medal depicts the Virgin Mary standing on top of the world crushing a snake. This represents the origins of Jesus, his kingship over the world, and how he conquered evil.

Silver Plated Medals
Silver plated refers to pure silver electroplated to a base metal,usually an alloy of nickel, copper, or brass. The advantages of silver plated are high polish looks, easy to wear and clean, and the least expensive of the precious metals. Silver plated jewelry may tarnish over time.
Always clean silver plated jewelry with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaning material. Use of tissue paper or paper towels will cause scratches because of the fibers.
