This tiny vintage French medal of the SAINTES MARIES has been recast in sterling silver and plated in 18K gold. On the reverse is the BASILIQUE built on the spot where the two Marys (Saint Mary Jacobe & Saint Mary Salome were at the Empty Tomb with Mary Magdalene) lived in the first century and died. Their relics remain in this church today. This medal is the perfect size to give to a small child as a baptism gift or birthday present.

SAINTES-MARIES-DE-LA-MER is the fishing village where Saint Mary Magdalene and her companions' boat landed in 47AD after being persecuted and thrown out of Palestine. The village is named after the three Marys (Mary Magdalene, Mary Jacobe & Mary Salome) and is in the South of France in the Camargue where the Rhône river meets the Mediterranean Sea.
