Mål hjemme på 2 minutter
Du skal bruge en papirstrimmel (eller en snor eller et snørebånd), en kuglepen og en lineal.
- Tag en snor eller et snørebånd, og markér den længde, du overvejer, for eksempel 50 cm.
- Hold de to mærker sammen i nakken, mens du har den slags overdel på, du plejer at gå i.
- Se dig i spejlet: snorens laveste punkt er der, hvor kæden kommer til at sidde.
- For højt eller for lavt? Prøv 5 cm mere eller mindre: det svarer til en størrelse op eller ned.
Har du allerede en kæde, du kan lide? Læg den fladt med lukket lås, og mål den fra ende til ende. En bred hals eller brystkasse får hver længde til at sidde lidt højere.
Ingen lineal? Et betalingskort er 8,6 cm langt: tæl, hvor mange der er plads til langs strimlen.

How to wear it
The pendant is about 3.5 cm high and 3 cm wide, on a braided chain: visible enough to recognize the image of Mary, small enough to wear every day under or over a blouse or shirt. Many people keep it under clothing, close to the heart, and let it show on Sundays.
The pendant and the chain are tin, so take it off before a shower or a swim. It is a traditional gift from a godmother for a first communion or a confirmation, and a natural Mother's Day gift for a mother or grandmother with a devotion to Mary.
Questions
What is the Miraculous Medal?
A Catholic medal of the Virgin Mary with her arms open, first struck in Paris in 1832 after the visions of Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830.
Is the Miraculous Emblem large enough to see Mary's open arms?
Yes. At about 3.5 cm high and 3 cm wide (1.4 x 1.2 in), the figure of Mary with her arms open reads clearly, resting on the collarbone or the chest.
Is the Miraculous Medal a good luck charm?
No. For Catholics it expresses confidence in Mary and is a reminder to pray, not an object that works by itself.
What prayer is written around the Miraculous Medal?
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. It runs around the edge of the medal, as in the design Saint Catherine Labouré described in 1830.
Is the Miraculous Emblem a good Mother's Day gift for a mom devoted to Mary?
Yes. Catholics wear the Miraculous Medal as a sign of trust in Mary's care, which makes it a gentle gift from children to their mother.
What is the braided chain of the Miraculous Emblem like?
A tin chain with braided links, which gives it more texture than a plain cable chain. Like the medal, it does not rust or turn your skin green.
The prayer
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Dens betydning
Rue du Bac, Paris, 1830
In 1830, in the chapel of the Daughters of Charity on the rue du Bac in Paris, a young novice named Catherine Labouré reported that the Virgin Mary had appeared to her. Mary asked her to have a medal struck, showing her with arms open and the words "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The first medals were made in 1832, and so many graces were credited to them that people began calling it the Miraculous Medal. Catherine was declared a saint in 1947. This version follows her...
Som gave
A godmother might choose it for a first communion or a confirmation, as Catholic families have long done. For a mother or grandmother with a devotion to Mary, it is a natural Mother's Day gift.
