Miscellaneous Saintly Items:

My daughter’s patron: Saint Gerard Majella

St. Joseph on a watch charm. Saddens me to see something like this on Ebay: the vendor notes that both his/her grandmother and mother kept this charm on their watches. May it find another loving home, and perhaps inspire the next grandchild to hang onto it.

Someone more knowledgeable about iconography will have to identify this saint for me. He is crowned and holding a book.





Head of Our Lady in Cameo (or see this Sacred Heart of Jesus in Mother-of-Pearl)
