Handsome vintage silver medal in reverence to St. Luke.
His feast day is October 18th.
Mid century medal crafted by the Antaya Brothers of Attleboro, MA.
It is about 1/2 inch in diameter and in very good condition.
He was the first Christian physician and was venerated by the Catholic Church as the patron saint of physicians and surgeons.
Saint Luke is also considered the patron saint of painters because, according to tradition, he had painted images of Mary and of Jesus.
