Presented is an antique Medal of Saint John double-wrap bracelet. The medal is round in shape and crafted in silver. The front of the medal depicts a bust of Saint John Bosco and the reverse has a portrait of Mary and infant, inscribed along the rim in raised relief with the Latin text, “Maria Auxilium Christianorum," which translates to, “Mary Help of Christians." Saint John Bosco (1815–1888) was an Italian Catholic priest renowned for his pioneering work in educating and housing the poor and orphaned in 19th-century Turin. Bosco was an ardent devotee of the Virgin Mary under the title Mary Help of Christians. The medal has been fashioned into a double-wrap bracelet by vintage jewelry designers, Intellectual Property.
