A chain is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Peregrine was born in 1260 in Forli, Italy, where he enjoyed an affluent life. At the age of 30, he converted to Catholicism and gave his life to God. He joined the Servite Order and dedicated his life to caring for the sick, poor, and marginalized. Peregrine practiced a penance of standing instead of sitting whenever possible. Years of this extreme wear resulted in varicose veins, which eventually broke down into open, running sores. At age 60, he was diagnosed with cancer in his leg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe night before his leg was to be amputated, Peregrine dragged himself before the crucifix and begged the crucified Lord to heal him. Falling into a deep, trance-like sleep, Peregrine saw Jesus lean down from the cross to touch his leg. He awoke the following morning to find his sores completely healed and his cancer cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died on May 1, 1345 and was canonized on December 27, 1726.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Peregrine is recognized today as the patron of those who suffer from cancer. His feast day is May 4th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Peregrine, Pray for Us.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-10-15T15:58:50","created_at":"2025-10-15T15:58:50","vendor":"Christian Brands","type":"MEDALS","tags":["Holy Card","Style_Medal Without Chain","Subject_Saints","Type_Holy Card","Type_Saint Medals"],"price":450,"price_min":450,"price_max":450,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[42635761745987],"variants":[{"id":42635761745987,"product_id":7503731458115,"product_handle":"st-peregrine-medal-and-card","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"935-0077","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"ST PEREGRINE MEDAL AND CARD - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":450,"weight":20,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":19,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":19,"incoming":null,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":null}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/MC018__10012.1698255257_1.jpg?v=1760561988"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/MC018__10012.1698255257_1.jpg?v=1760561988","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/st-peregrine-medal-and-card"}
