A new medal of Julian, with her meditating on the front and her famous line, "All Shall Be Well," on the back. I design, carve, and cast the medals myself (they’re copyrighted). The medals are made of lead-free pewter and have designs on both sides. The medal comes on either an 18-inch or 24-inch chain with a lobster clasp. (You can indicate which length you like when you order.) Each necklace comes in a felt jewelry pouch with a history card that states:
"Julian, born in 1342, was an anchoress in Norwich, England, devoting much of her life to meditation. She had a series of visions and wrote a book that, in part, describes and analyzes the visions. In the work, Julian struggles to understand suffering, and her most famous line, 'All shall be well,... and all manner of thing shall be well,' is, in part, a resolution of that struggle, for the line points to the underlying goodness in the universe: in short, though we may suffer greatly (as Julian had), this ultimate goodness is all-present, and for that reason, we can rest assured that all shall be well, no matter what the present may look like. This medal of Julian praying was handmade by Hank Schlau at In the Co. of Saints. Julian’s famous line is on the back, with a tiny cat below: Julian, it is said, shared her cell with a cat, who no doubt purred abundantly."
Dimensions of medallion: 1.5 inches high x 3/4 inch wide. The pendant alone, without the chain, is available in a separate listing. (Search for “Julian” here in our Etsy shop, and it will come up.)
