#atelierLeda's Medallion Necklace Collection ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈┈••✼ This is a St. Rita of Cascia medallion necklace, the patron saint of impossible causes, marital problems, abuse, and parenting, when there is no hope. † St. Rita of Cascia † Rita desired to become a nun from a young age, but at her parents' strong urging, she married. Her husband was unfaithful and quick-tempered, and she endured his violence without complaint for 18 years until he was murdered in an act of revenge. Her two sons were also rough like their father and sought revenge for him, but when Rita prayed, her sons fell ill and were unable to commit the sin. Rita, of course, cared for them devotedly, and her sons' hearts became calm, but they passed away. After that, she entered the convent she had longed for (though she was repeatedly refused due to her age). Based on her experiences, she gave advice to people with troubles in their families, such as marital relationships and parenting, and was greatly appreciated. She also devoted herself to converting sinners and caring for sick nuns. Also, during prayer, a thorn from a statue of Jesus Christ pierced Rita's forehead and became a "stigmata," and it is said that a fragrance emanated from her body after her death. She is called the "Helper in Times of Need" and the "Saint of the Impossible." Lived: 1381-1457 Patronage: Desperate situations, impossible causes, illness, injury, mothers, marital problems, infertility, abuse, parenting This medallion depicts the scene of her receiving the stigmata from the image of Christ. ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈┈••✼ 《Medallion》 St. Rita 20 x 15mm 《Cross》 Jesus Christ 10 x 12mm 《Size》 40cm + 5cm adjuster atelier †Leda† ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈┈••✼ #StRita #MiraculousMedal #HolyLand #Catholic
