St. Agatha is the patron of Nurses and Breast Cancer. Agatha was a virgin woman, living circa 250 A. D., who rejected advances from a Roman senator. Accusing her of being a Christian, the senator ordered her breasts cut off as punishment. As she stayed in her prison cell, Saint Peter returned them with a “celestial ointment”. Memorial: Feb 5.
Made in the USA. Details on jewelry may vary, dependent on size of medal chosen. "14K Gold Filled" refers to a process by which gold is bonded to a base medal, with a much higher gold content than Gold Plate. It is considered a life-time product, as the gold layer will not quickly wear off, as it will in electroplated products.
