Maria was a beautiful farm girl in Italy, who died at the age of 12.  She was attached by a farm hand, who tried to rape her.  Maria yelled that it was a sin, but he tried to choke her into submission and stabbed her 14 times.  Maria lived for two days, forgave her attacker and then died holding a crucifix and a medal of Our Lady.  While in prison, her attacker had a vision of Maria as a young girl in white surrounded by lilies.  When he awoke, he was truly sorry for his crime and devoted the rest of his life to God.
This handcrafted oval piece is composed of fine grained, translucent porcelain clay.  The intricate design consists of slip glazes fired into the porcelain at 2250 degrees F., then is finished to a satin touch.
Our Saint Marie Goretti necklace comes with an approximately 30 inch black silk cord and is packaged in a velvet-like box with a card describing the store of the saint. The necklace has a silvertone bale that will accommodate a variety of chains.
