St Marcellin & St Genevieve Medal Aluminum French Inscription 7/8" long

 Geneveive is the patron saint of Paris in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions.  She led a "prayer marathon"  that was said to have saved Paris by diverting Attila’s Huns away from the city. When the Germanic king Childeric I besieged the city, she acted as an intermediary between the city and its besiegers, collecting food and convincing Childeric to release his prisoners. Her feast day is kept on 3 January.

Saint Marcellin Joseph Benedict Champagnat   was born in France. He was the founder of the Marist Brothers, a religious congregation of brothers in the Roman Catholic Church devoted to Mary and dedicated to education. His feast day is 6 June.
