St James was the brother of St John and one of the first followers of Jesus.  He and John were fishermen who left their nets and their father on the shore of the Sea of Galilee when Jesus called them to follow him.  He became one of the twelve apostles.   Many traditions grew up around his relics, the most famous being the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain which is presumed to be the saint's burial place.

The medal was cast in sterling silver from an antique medal in the Rosa Mystica Collection so it shows all the beauty and history of the original piece. It comes with a matching holy card in an organza gift bag, ready for gift-giving, and was made in the USA.
