Saint (St.) Michael Christian Pendant

Perhaps the most well known symbolic figure in Christian jewelry is Saint Michael the archangel. But what is Archangel? What does Michael mean? Saint Michael, “who is like God”, the principal angel (high ranking), is well known for his interaction and roles in the Holy Bible. He is depicted as a commander, often carrying a spear in his right hand and a green palm branch in the left. Saint Michael is considered to be the protector of the Orthodox Faith. Browse for St. Michael in our inventory of Christian Pendants.

Saint (St.) Christopher Christian Pendant

Saint Christopher was a martyr during the reign of the 3rd century Roman Emperor Decius. Supposedly Christopher was 7.5 feet tall with an intimidating face, who wanted to serve Christ, the greatest king that ever was. At one point he took up carrying people across a perilous river due to his size and strength, which turned out to be a daunting task, a child the heaviest burden on Saint Christopher’s shoulders. That child changed into Jesus, who informed Saint Christopher his duties to the world and God. Later, the king Decius tried to convert Christopher to a pagan religion. Saint Christopher was having it. To begin with, he had already converted over thousands of people to Christianity. So when the king could not convert Christopher, the saint was killed. He is often portrayed carrying Jesus Christ across the river. You can find many pendants conveying this event in our inventory of St. Christopher Christian pendants.

Saint (St.) Daniel Christian Pendant

This Christian Pendant of St. Daniel “God is my judge”, is the main protagonist in the Hebrew Bible, Book of Daniel. He was a dream interpreter, as well as received apocalyptic visions. Within the sixth chapter in the Book of Daniel, King Darius declared that none could pray to god, only King Darius. Saint Daniel prayed regardless, and thus was thrown into a lions’ den. God shut the mouths of the lions, so Saint Daniel came through unscathed, his faith in god an immovable force. The lions are symbolic of the monarchs, the rulers of the kingdom. Get ready to impress your friends with your St. Daniel Christian pendant.

Saint (St.) Jude Christian Pendant

Saint Jude, “brother of Jesus”, was one of Jesus’ twelve apostles. He is not to be confused with Judas, the betrayer of Jesus. Though it’s not fact and nobody is altogether sure, many people believe Saint Jude is also Thaddeus, which may have been his nickname. Saint Jude is the patron of lost and desperate causes, the patron saint of hospitals. St. Jude was the very first of the disciples to join in his quest. Celebrate your Christianity with this St. Jude Christian pendant.

Saint (St.) Mary Magdalene Christian Pendant

“The Penitent”, Saint Mary was renamed “Magdalene”, for the city of Magdale in northern Galilee. Notorious for her sinning manner, she repented her seven devils after she first met Jesus. Saint Mary served Jesus humbly, for he saw her heart as it truly was, something not defined by her selfish, evil behavior. She is perhaps the most popular for her determination and courage to contest her inner demons. Show your confidence and determination with the symbolism of a St. Mary Magdalene Christian pendant.
