It is a Catholic medal most often associated with Saint Catherine Labouré following her vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary and made by goldsmith Adrien Vachette. It is not advocated in official Catholic teaching but many people wear it or use it with book ribbons. Some Catholics believe that wearing the medal with faith and devotion can bring special graces through the intercession of Mary.
