the patron saint of soldiers

[relic lover]

I found this medallion at a site that civil war and WWI buttons were dug. The front says Saint Ignatius pray for us and the back says Guardian angel guide me. This is my new favorite relic of the year I am sure it went to war and back! I wish I knew how old it is. Enjoy.

It looks like it is from 1800s so you are probably right! I dig a lot of these religious pendants here in Germany. HH, Mike

I was hoping for the 1800s but it is likely WWI from what I have seen but I hope I am wrong.

Ignatius of Loyola (Basque: Iñigo Loiolakoa, Spanish: Ignacio de Loyola) (1491[SUP][1][/SUP] – July 31, 1556) was a Spanish knight from a Basque noble family, hermit, priest since 1537, and theologian, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and was its first Superior General.[SUP][2][/SUP] Ignatius emerged as a religious leader during the Counter-Reformation. Loyola's devotion to the Catholic Church was characterized by unquestioning obedience to the Catholic Church's authority and hierarchy.[SUP][3][/SUP]
