St. Mark Medal 1" on an 18" Chain. An oval tin cut detailed medal of St. Mark and a lion with wings in the background. Lions with wings are symbolic of the Christian concept of Resurrection.
St. Mark wrote the second Gospel, probably in Rome sometime before the year 60 A.D.; he wrote it in Greek for the Gentile converts to Christianity. Tradition tells us that St. Mark was requested by the Romans to set down the teachings of St. Peter. This seems to be confirmed by the position which St. Peter has in this Gospel. In this way, the second Gospel is a record of the life of Jesus as seen through the eyes of the Prince of the Apostles. His feast day is April 25. He is the patron saint of notaries.
The 14KT Gold option is for the medal only. No chain. Contact us if you want to add a chain.
Gifted in a Grey Velour Clam Shell Jewelry Box.
