This French vintage medal of Saint Mary Magdalene has the words "S.MAGD. ORA P.N." meaning "Saint Mary Magdalene pray for us." It is one of many in my collection and has been recast in sterling silver and then plated in 18K gold. Her alabaster jar is prominent in the design. On the reverse is a tiny cross and the words "Souvenir de la Sainte Baume."

LA SAINTE BAUME - is the name of the Cave of Saint Mary Magdalene where she spent the last 30 years of her life. Sainte-Baume means holy cave in Provencial dialect. The 4th photo is taken of the outside of La Sainte-Baume. Calvary built by Father Vayssière is on the left, the Dominican Monastery is on the edge of the cliff on the right and the entrance to the cave of Saint Mary Magdalene is in the middle. The 5th photo was taken inside the cave of La Sainte-Baume.
