St. Kilian is Patron of Whitewashers and Rheumatism. Memorial: July 8. Saint Kilian was of Irish nobility. He converted a local Bavarian ruler and his subjects to the Faith. After explaining to the ruler that his marriage to his brother’s widow was invalid to the Church, he was martyred. There are conflicting stories as to who assassinated Our Saint, some tales point to the wife, others to the Duke.
Made in the USA. Details on jewelry may vary, dependent on size of medal chosen. "14K Gold Filled" refers to a process by which gold is bonded to a base medal, with a much higher gold content than Gold Plate. It is considered a life-time product, as the gold layer will not quickly wear off, as it will in electroplated products.
