This is a 1" pewter Saint Nicholas medal on an 18" necklace from Roman. St.Nicholas was the Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor in the 4th century. While there are many stories and myths surrounding him, he is the patron saint of many groups of people and locations. He is most known for being the patron saint of children, maidens wishing to marry, sailors and prisoners.
This necklace comes in a blue velvet deluxe box.
Lisa’s Catholic Treasures
For half a century, I’ve collected Catholic-themed wood carvings, figurines and nativities. I began selling them to family and friends via open houses 15 years ago and added an online side to the business eight years back. Now, I’ve gone far beyond figurines and nativities and I have hundreds of different items available for sale.

Our online store is just the place to shop for gifts or items for your own home. We have the basics: saints, angels and Holy Family figurines, rosaries, crucifixes, and jewelry.

We also carry religious books from board books, storybooks, young readers, adults and bibles for all ages. Bibles include storybook and graphic novels for young people, those designed for First Holy Communion, middle school age, high school age, and adults.

There is a variety of toys available on the website as well. We carry a large selection of Shining Light Dolls and jigsaw puzzles with a scattering of plush, saints, activity sets and more.
No matter what type of Catholic treasure you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it right here on this website.
My Background
My interest in Catholic figurines and carvings can be traced back to my teenage years when my parents brought back a woodcarving of the Madonna and Child from their trip to Europe to give to my grandparents. I searched for that same style of carving for years, but eventually received the original when my father died. But the quest has guided me and led me to start this business of providing Catholic treasures to family, friends, and new friends.
My husband and I are lifelong Catholics from the Midwest, who met at a church in Colorado. We’re still active in our local parish community more than four decades later. My husband, three grown children and their families have all helped with the business.
