Mother of Good Counsel Medal Catholic Telephone Employees of NJ April 26,1953 Silvertone w/ heavy patina. 7/8" dia.

Our Lady of Good Counsel (Latin: Mater boni consilii) is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary, after a painting  now found in the thirteenth century Augustinian church at Genazzano, near Rome, Italy. The image is a fresco executed on a thin layer of plaster no thicker than an egg shell.  Over the centuries, devotions to Our Lady of the Good Counsel grew among saints and Popes, to the extent that a reference to it was added to the Litany of Loreto and the devotion spread throughout the world. Her feast day is April 26.
