African Opal 10mm Beaded Bracelet w/Vintage Silver Plated Medal of St. Anthony of Padua and Servus Dei P. Valentinus

This is an unusual medal of faith.  On the front is St. Anthony, a beloved saint, holding the Child Jesus.  On the back is a Franciscan Belgian priest Valentin Paquay, who was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003.  St. Anthony is a favorite saint of many and is the patron saint of Lost Objects, Lost Faith and for his tender devotion to Jesus.
