The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of our Lady of Graces, is a medal devoted to the Virgin Mary. The actual beautiful design of it, front and back, was imparted to Catherine Laboure who saw an apparition of Mary on November 27, 1830 in Paris, France. Mary spoke to Catherine and said "“Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around their neck.” It is worn to this day by Christians who seek her guidance and blessing and who find great comfort in wearing it.
