Saint Bruno of Cologne Medal - Patron of Calabria & Germany

Saint Bruno of Cologne medal that depicts the saint with a skull on the front and is marked "Pray For Us" on the back.

Bruno of Cologne, venerated as Saint Bruno, was the founder of the Carthusian Order. He personally founded the order's first two communities. He was a celebrated teacher at Reims, and a close advisor of his former pupil, Pope Urban II. In Catholic art, Saint Bruno can be recognized by a skull that he holds and contemplates, with a book and a cross. The skull represents his mystical devotion. Mystic devotion is the pursuit of a personal communion with God.

Saint Bruno has long been regarded as the patron saint of Calabria and one of the patron saints of Germany. A writer as well as founder of his order, Saint Bruno composed commentaries on the Psalms and on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle. His feast day is October 6th.
