St. Michael Round
Regular price $650.00St. Michael, the great archangel personifies valor, protection and care.

The Jews regard Michael, the prince, as the special protector of Israel, and in Christianity he serves as the protector of the Church.
While St. Michael, the archangel protects us, he also assists in dying, accompanying us to private judgement after we depart this world, ultimately ushering us to the gates of Heaven as a patron of the holy souls. His protection over holy souls results in the dedication of cemetery chapels in his name worldwide. In ancient times he was venerated as healer before honored as an angelic warrior. He also served as patron of mariners in Normandy where the famous Mont-Saint Michael stands.
St. Patrick
Regular price $195.00(d. 17 March 493). At 16, Patrick was captured by Irish raiders in Wales, where he lived comfortably, and enslaved in Ireland for 6 years. Prayer carried him through the experience and when he escaped he was transformed in his faith. Legend reports he walked nearly 200 miles in his escape. Guided by visions, he later returned to Ireland and with forgiveness became the country’s second bishop. In illustrating the Trinity he often used the sacred shamrock as a symbol with the local nature based pagans. In keeping with local ritual, he incorporated the powerful symbol of the sun in the cross, originating the Celtic cross. He is the popular and widely celebrated patron saint of Ireland.
