She was among the myrrh-bearing women who went to the tomb after the crucifixion to anoint his body, and among the first to hear from the angels that he had risen. She's honored above all in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, where her feast falls on June 27th alongside the moveable Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women, and has more recently been added to Western liturgical calendars as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Gift For...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone drawn to Eastern Orthodox devotion and saints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA woman who shows up fully for the people she loves, without being asked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who values quiet faithfulness over public recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone who's been the one to carry hard news, or bear witness when others couldn't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Confirmation Gift for \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoanna\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something grounding about giving a Confirmation gift tied to a woman who was there at the hardest moment and stayed until the best one.

The natural gold or silver of the metal forms the illustration itself. Black ink is applied to the pendant surface and the metal shows through as the image. A shatterproof liquid glass coating seals the surface. The result has a depth and precision that printed medals don't achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersonalization and Engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd up to two lines of custom engraving to the back of the medal, in a flowing Tangerine cursive font, 20 characters max per line.
