Saint Peregrine Laziosi, Patron Saint of Cancer Patients
Peregrine Laziosi was born around 1260 in Forlì, Italy, and lived a turbulent early life that included striking a visiting Servite friar during a political dispute. That encounter changed him. He repented, joined the Servite Order, and spent the rest of his life in ministry to the sick and poor, earning the nickname "Angel of Good Counsel" for his wisdom and generosity. At sixty, a severe leg infection progressed into cancer, and a physician recommended amputation. The night before the surgery, Peregrine prayed before a crucifix in the chapter room and experienced a vision of Christ descending from the cross to touch his leg. When the doctor returned the next morning, the cancer had vanished entirely. He lived another twenty years and died in 1345, and has since become one of the Church's most widely invoked patrons for cancer, AIDS, and other serious illnesses.
A Gift For...
- Someone facing a cancer diagnosis or in treatment
- A cancer survivor marking remission or recovery
- Caregivers supporting someone through serious illness
- Anyone waiting on medical news that feels impossible to control
- A person who needs a reminder that healing sometimes happens against the odds
A Confirmation Gift for Peregrine
Considering Peregrine for a confirmation name? "Against the Odds" or "Healed by Faith" both fit within the 20-character line limit. He suits confirmation well because his story turns on two transformations, a troubled young man who changed course entirely, and a dying man who was healed against every expectation, both proof that a life isn't fixed by where it starts.
The Saint Peregrine Laziosi Medal
The design shows Peregrine haloed, seated with his bandaged leg, holding a lily, beneath a radiant crucifix referencing the vision of Christ that healed him. 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
Reverse engraving available in Tangerine cursive, 2 lines, 20 characters max each. Well-suited pairings: a diagnosis or remission date paired with "Healed by Faith," or a name with "Against the Odds."
Saint Peregrine's feast day is May 1st. He remains one of the most invoked saints for cancer patients specifically, not for a life spent avoiding illness but for surviving the one moment everyone around him had already given up on.
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.
