The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, holds a special place in the hearts of Catholics around the world. This iconic piece of religious jewelry is believed to have originated from a series of visions received by Saint Catherine Labouré, a novice in the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, in 1830.

The Miraculous Medal features an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary standing on a globe, with rays of light emanating from her hands. Surrounding her are the words "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." On the reverse side, there is a cross with the letter "M" entwined with it, along with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

This powerful sacramental is associated with numerous miracles and graces, hence its name. It is believed that those who wear the Miraculous Medal with faith and devotion can experience the intercession of the Blessed Mother in their lives, obtaining spiritual and physical blessings.

Another way to deepen your reliance on Mary is through praying the Rosary. West Coast Catholic rosaries are beautifully hand crafted to last you a lifetime and draw you closer to Heaven.

Whether you're a devout Catholic seeking to deepen your understanding of this sacred image or simply curious about its origins and significance, the Miraculous Medal is a beautiful reminder of our eternity and our blessed Mother who awaits us.
