Rather than staying above the fray, he became one of its most consistent moral voices, publicly condemning violence from government forces, death squads, and guerrillas alike, and using his position to defend the country's poor. He was shot and killed while celebrating Mass on March 24, 1980, the day after a radio address calling for soldiers to stop carrying out human rights abuses. Recognized as a martyr for the faith and canonized by Pope Francis in 2018, he remains one of the most widely recognized modern saints, admired well beyond Catholic circles for the consistency between what he said and how he died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Gift For...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone who speaks up for others, even at personal cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person working in human rights, advocacy, or public service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone drawn to faith expressed through action rather than words alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person who admires moral courage over comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Confirmation Gift for Oscar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis medal suits a Confirmation gift for a young man who's beginning to understand that faith sometimes asks something of you, not just from you.

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.
