When St Clare was a girl, she was so struck by the preaching of St Francis of Assisi that she confided her desire to live for God to him. He became her teacher and friend. She ran away from home with her cousin to become a nun and was later received into religious life by St Francis. She founded a religious order called the Poor Clares that is still in existence today. St Clare loved needle work, music, and caring for others. At the end of her life when she was to ill to go to mass, an image of the service appeared on the wall of her room leading to her patronage of television. She died in 1253.
The medal was cast in sterling silver from an antique medal in the Rosa Mystica Collection so it shows all the beauty and history of the original piece. It comes with a matching holy card in an organza gift bag, ready for gift-giving, and was made in the USA.
