The St. Michael The Archangel Medal
Sancte Michaël Archangele, Defende Nos In Proelio.
More than just a heavy piece of metal, this is a wearable artifact—a physical anchor to the spiritual realm and a daily reminder of our call to spiritual warfare.
This month's heavy-relief medal is directly inspired by the historic 18th-century polychrome statue housed in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago, Chile. Depicting St. Michael in traditional Roman military cuirass driving his spear into Satan, this piece of Spanish colonial art perfectly captures the gritty, victorious reality of the heavenly war. We've translated that striking iconography into a solid, wearable metal artifact.
The 3D high-relief sculpt captures the exact, triumphant posture of the Archangel from this awe-inspiring monument, bringing a true piece of international Catholic heritage into your daily life. From the spread of his wings to the tip of his lance driving down the ancient serpent, every contoured edge is deeply sculpted to reflect the triumph of grace over evil.
Framed by the opening petition of Pope Leo XIII's famous prayer—St. Michael The Archangel, Defend Us In Battle—this piece is engineered for the modern Catholic. It is designed to be worn daily as a tangible plea for heavenly protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil, and a constant call to courage and virtue.
- The Shield Silhouette: Forged at a bold 38.1mm × 31.52mm, this wider profile breaks from traditional, slender catalog medals to physically mirror the protective shield of the Archangel.
- True 3D Sculpting: Deep, contoured relief that brings the Santiago monument to life, heavily antiqued to highlight the defeat of the adversary.
- Heirloom Weight: Cast at a substantial 3mm thickness, honoring the tradition of heavy, generational Catholic artifacts.
- Built for the Faithful: Our September medal is antique brass to withstand the rigors of daily wear and provide a unique, collectible piece.
- Integrated Bail: Features a heavy-duty, reinforced top loop capable of accommodating thick, rugged chains up to 5mm.
Your daily armor. Wear it well.
