Mesurez chez vous en 2 minutes
Il vous faut une bande de papier (ou une ficelle, un lacet), un stylo et une règle.
- Prenez une ficelle ou un lacet et marquez dessus la longueur qui vous intéresse, par exemple 50 cm.
- Réunissez les deux marques derrière la nuque, avec le type de haut que vous portez d'habitude.
- Regardez-vous dans un miroir : le point le plus bas de la ficelle, c'est là que tombera la chaîne.
- Trop haut ou trop bas ? Essayez 5 cm de plus ou de moins : c'est une taille au-dessus ou en dessous.
Vous avez déjà une chaîne qui vous plaît ? Posez-la à plat, fermoir fermé, et mesurez-la d'un bout à l'autre. Avec un cou ou un torse larges, chaque longueur tombe un peu plus haut.
Pas de règle ? Une carte bancaire mesure 8,6 cm de long : comptez combien en tiennent sur votre bande.

Comment le porter
The medal is small, 25 x 16 mm and 5.7 g, with a 45 cm cable chain and 5 cm extender. At 45 cm it sits just below the collarbone, where it can be worn every day under a blouse or over a simple top; at 50 cm it drops slightly lower over a crew neck.
The high-polish stainless steel, in silver or a gold-tone PVD finish, can be worn in the shower. It is a traditional gift from a mother or godmother at a baptism (kept until the child is older), a first communion, a confirmation, or for Mother's Day.
Questions
Is the 25 x 16 mm Miraculous Pendant small enough for a first communicant?
Yes. It is a small, light medal (the whole necklace weighs 5.7 g) that suits a child and can be worn for life. Young children should wear necklaces under supervision.
Where does the Miraculous Pendant sit at 45 and at 50 cm?
At 45 cm (about 18 in) it rests just below the collarbone. With the 5 cm extender it drops to 50 cm, on the upper chest.
How durable is the gold PVD finish on the Miraculous Pendant?
Durable for daily wear: PVD is a gold-colored coating bonded to the stainless steel. Perfume, chlorine and scratching are still what wear it over time, so put it on after them.
Who designed the Miraculous Medal?
The design comes from the visions of Saint Catherine Labouré, a Daughter of Charity, in Paris in 1830; the first medals were struck in 1832.
What do the rays from Mary's hands on the Miraculous Medal mean?
Graces. Saint Catherine Labouré described them as the graces Mary obtains for those who ask her, which is why she is shown with open hands.
Is it a good baptism gift?
Yes, as a keepsake for the child to wear when older, since necklaces are not recommended for babies. Many families give it at baptism for exactly that reason.
The prayer
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Words on the Miraculous Medal, from the vision of Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris, 1830

Sa signification
The two faces of Mary's medal
The Miraculous Medal has two faces. On the front, Mary stands on a globe with rays falling from her open hands, which Saint Catherine Labouré understood as the graces given to those who ask for them. On the back of the traditional medal, the letter M is topped by a cross, with two hearts below: the Sacred Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns and the Immaculate Heart of Mary pierced by a sword. Twelve stars circle the whole. This small pendant, 25 by 16 mm, shows Mary with open arms in polished silver or gold...
L'offrir en cadeau
Mothers and godmothers often give it at baptism, so the child grows up with it. It also suits a first communion, a confirmation or Mother's Day.
