St. Florian Medal - Patron Saint of Firemen, Fire Fighters, and Chimney Sweeps
SKU: CM236Saint Florian oval medal that depicts the saint on the front and "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.
He is the patron of Saint of Linz, Austria, and Poland; firefighters, chimney sweeps, brewers, and soapmakers; invoked against drowning, fire, and floods.
There are several reasons why it’s believed Saint Florian earned the title of the patron saint of fire and firefighters: legend says that during his life, St. Florian put out a massive fire with only one bucket of water, saving a village from ruin. St. Florian is often depicted in artwork pouring water from a bucket or small vessel. Many years after St. Florian’s death, a man said he was saved from a deadly fire when he called on St. Florian, begging for his intercession. Because he was killed by drowning, Saint Florian is also often sought out as a protector against the dangers of water including drowning and flooding. The feast of St. Florian is celebrated May 4, coinciding with International Firefighter’s Day. If you have a loved one who is a firefighter, consider giving them the gift of St. Florian’s protection that can be worn or kept nearby as a reminder to pray to the saint for his protection in the most dangerous situations.
