This very detailed, 1 inch bronze recast of a vintage St. Michael medal, with Our Lady and the Christ Child on the reverse, is strung on ball chain. It is 27 inches long and simply slips over your head without a clasp. This necklace can also be shortened to any length because the tiny closure can be popped off (and on) the chain balls. If you would want a shorter necklace simply adjust to any length by cutting the chain and then put the tiny closure on the end ball.

The name Michael means: "Who is like God". God chose Michael for a special role as Archangel to lead the good angels  in battle against Satan and the fallen angels. St. Michael victorious is depicted on this medal. St. Michael is known as the Protector of the Church. The necklace serves as a reminder of St. Michael's protection for all of us. St. Michael defeated Satan and he can aid us all in our spiritual battles. The prayer to St. Michael: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
