Saint Josephine Bakhita medal that depicts the saint on the front and is inscribed with "Pray For Us" on the back. This detailed die-cast medal is made in the region of Italy that produces the finest quality medals in the world.
Saint Josephine, affectionately known as Bakhita (“fortunate one”), was born in the southern Sudan region of Darfur. She was kidnapped as a child and sold into slavery, eventually working in Italy as a nanny for a wealthy family. It was during this time that she was introduced to formal religion and came to know the Daughters of Charity of Canossa, or the Canossian Sisters. Bakhita was drawn to the Catholic Church, she was baptized in 1890 and given the name Josephine. Six years later she entered the Canossian Sisters convent in Schio, Italy.
On October 1, 2000, she was canonized as Saint Josephine Bakhita. She is venerated as a modern African saint, and as a statement against the brutal history of slavery.
She is the patron of Sudan, South Sudan, and human-trafficking survivors.
