The medal firefighters wear. Saint Florian, a Roman officer martyred in 304 AD and remembered for a single bucket of water that put out a burning town, is the patron saint of firefighters, and his medal has hung under turnout gear for generations. Lovely Rita's sterling silver St. Florian medals show him in his Roman armor pouring water on the flames, with the traditional "Protect Us" inscription: antiqued round medals in several sizes, an oval medal, a polished medal, and the firefighter badge medal — Saint Florian set inside the Maltese cross of the fire service. Every medal is solid .925 sterling silver, stamped 925, and guaranteed authentic.
A St. Florian necklace is the gift for fire academy graduation, a first day on the job, a promotion to lieutenant or captain, a firefighter's retirement, a volunteer firefighter's anniversary of service, or St. Florian's Day, May 4 — International Firefighters' Day. It's also the medal a spouse gives before every shift. Pairs beautifully with a sterling silver chain, and wears well on a dog-tag chain.
