Giving a Miraculous Medal is giving much more than a piece of jewelry: it is telling someone that you pray for them and that you want them to always keep the Virgin close to their heart. That is why the words that accompany it matter. Here are phrases for every occasion; choose the one you like best or use it as a starting point to write your own.
At Khartes, every medal can come with a free handwritten card: just leave us the message on the product page, and we will write it and send it wrapped as a gift.

For a mother

- "You taught us to pray to her. Now it is your turn to wear her."
- "For the mother who never stops caring: may the Virgin care for you."
For a grandmother
- "Grandma, like the medal you used to wear: now one for you, from your grandchildren."
- "Thank you for passing on your faith to us. May the Virgin always accompany you."
For a baptism
- "Welcome to God's family. May the Virgin protect you all your life."
- "Your first medal: so you can grow up with the Virgin close to your heart."
- "From your godmother, who will pray for you every day."
For a First Communion
- "On such a special day, a gift for always: may the Virgin lead you by the hand to Jesus."
- "So you never forget this day, or the Mother who always accompanies you."
For someone going through a difficult time
- "You are not alone. I am giving this to you so you can feel the Virgin close to your heart every day."
- "I pray for you. Wear it with faith and trust."
- "For the days when it is hard: may the Virgin give you strength and peace."
For a friend
- "Because friends look out for each other, by praying too. May the Virgin protect you."
- "Protected and stylish at the same time. We always wear a medal."
For a wedding or anniversary
- "May the Virgin bless your home and your love."
- "To start this new chapter with the Virgin close to your heart."
For her feast day, November 27
- "Happy Miraculous Medal Day. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us."
- "On the Feast of the Miraculous Medal, a gift so you can always carry her with you."
If you want something more personal, a good formula is to combine three things: the person's name, why you are giving it to them, and a wish. For example: "Lucía, for everything you have fought through this year: may the Virgin always accompany you."
Which Miraculous Medal to give
For a classic gift, the one with natural pearls; for a splash of color, the ones with stones and enamel; for a girl or as a small gift, the bracelet. All our medals are made of zamak with 18K gold plating, handcrafted in Spain, come with a chain, and arrive gift wrapped. We will help you decide in giving the Miraculous Medal: what it means and who to give it to.
