1-1/8 x 15/16 inch satin finish pewter firefighter St. Florian shield medal on a 24 inch stainless steel rhodium plated chain. The pendant is shaped like a firefighter shield and features a raised figure of St. Florian, who is depicted as a Roman soldier with a bucket of water, pouring it over fire. There are words that read, "St. Florian Protect Us" on the left and right sides respectively. The back of the medal is blank with a brushed finish. Includes an elegant patriotic American flag card (jewelry attached).
Saint Florian was an officer of the Roman army who suffered death for the Faith in the days of Diocletian. His legendary acts state that he gave himself up when the government was rounding up Christians, and after making a bold confession, he was twice scourged, flayed, set on fire, and finally thrown into the river. His body was recovered by a pious woman. Since that time, he has been regarded as the Patron Saint of Fireman. Many miracles of healing are attributed to his intercession and he is invoked as powerful protector in danger from fire or water.
About Pewter
Pewter is a metal alloy consisting mostly of tin mixed with small amounts of hardening agents/metals such as copper and antimony. All our pewter items are lead-free. Pewter is a soft metal and can tarnish over time but is less susceptible of tarnishing than sterling silver. The main difference between pewter and sterling silver is that pewter is a metal alloy and sterling silver is a pure metal.
Always clean pewter with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaning material.
