Saint Michael the Archangel, Patron of Police Officers, Soldiers, and Protectors
Michael is one of only three archangels named in scripture, described in the Book of Revelation leading the heavenly armies against the dragon and casting him down to earth. His name, meaning "Who is like God," has functioned for centuries as both his identity and his battle cry against pride and evil. Catholic tradition holds him as the protector of the Church itself, and Pope Leo XIII composed the Saint Michael Prayer in 1886 specifically asking for his defense "against the wickedness and snares of the devil." He's invoked today as the formal patron of police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, along with soldiers and anyone whose work puts them between danger and the people they protect.
A Gift For...
- A police officer, firefighter, or paramedic
- A soldier, veteran, or anyone entering military service
- Someone starting a difficult fight, literal or otherwise
- A person who wants a daily reminder of protection and courage
- Anyone drawn to Michael's role as defender against evil
A Confirmation Gift for Michael
Michael remains one of the most common Confirmation names chosen specifically for this reason, a saint whose whole identity is standing firm against opposition. Engraved with a Confirmation date, it gives a young person heading into adulthood a daily reminder that courage and protection go hand in hand.
The Saint Michael Medal
The medal shows Michael in full armor, sword raised overhead, standing triumphant over a defeated demon beneath his feet. 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.
Personalization and Engraving
Add a name, date, or short phrase in Tangerine cursive font, up to two lines, 20 characters per line. Fitting options: "Protect and Defend," a duty or Confirmation date, or a name.
Saint Michael's feast day is September 29th, shared with fellow archangels Gabriel and Raphael on the Feast of the Archangels, and he's also honored separately on May 8th in some traditions marking a historic apparition.

FAQ
How long does production take?
Each medal is made to order in the USA. Production takes 5-6 business days before shipping. If you need it for a birthday, confirmation, or any specific occasion, order at least two weeks in advance to be safe.
What does the engraving look like?
The reverse is engraved in Tangerine cursive — an elegant, flowing script. You get two lines, up to 20 characters each. Names, dates, short quotes. The engraving is laser-etched directly into the metal, not printed.
Is the chain included?
Yes. Every medal ships on an 18-22" adjustable snake chain in the same finish as the medal - stainless steel or 18k gold. No need to source a chain separately.
Are the medals hypoallergenic?
Yes. Both options are made from medical-grade 316 stainless steel. The 18k gold finish is applied over that same 316 stainless steel base. Safe for sensitive skin.
How durable is the coating?
Each medal is hand-sealed with a shatterproof liquid glass coating poured directly over the surface. It protects the artwork from scratches and moisture without dulling the detail or altering the color. It's designed to be worn daily, not kept in a drawer.
What's your return policy on engraved orders?
Because every medal is custom-made to order, engraved pieces cannot be returned unless there's a defect or error on our part. If anything arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us and we'll make it right.
