St. Jerome is Patron of Libraries and Translators. Memorial: Sept 30. Jerome became a monk and lived as a hermit in the desert. His biggest accomplishment was the revision of the Bible into Latin. He was a strong advocate of celibacy and even considered loving a woman as adultery.
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.
