Casting off characteristics of traditional medal design, Modernist medallists during the early to mid-20th century created pieces with bold shapes and vivid colors. This artsy modernist medal dates from mid-twentieth century France centers on an imagery of Sainte Christina l'Admirable or Christine the Astonishing (c.1150 – 24 July 1224), also known as Christina Mirabilis, a Christian holy woman born in Belgium. She was considered a saint in her own time, and for centuries following her death. Prayers are traditionally said to St. Christine to seek her intercession for millers, for those suffering from mental illness, and for mental health workers. Her memorial day is July 24.

A stylized cross is on the verso.

The medal, circa 1960s in age, is crafted in bronze and finely decorated with glassy enamel. Measures store 1-1/2inches in diameter.

Élie Pellegrin (1914-2001) was a famous French sculptor born at the beginning of WWI into a devoutly Christian family. His staunch faith became a major influence in the wonderful art that he created during his life.
