The beloved physician. Lovely Rita's collection of St. Luke medals honors the evangelist Paul called "the beloved physician" — author of the third Gospel and Acts, and the patron saint of doctors, surgeons, nurses, and, by tradition as the first iconographer, of artists and painters. Each medal shows St. Luke with his Gospel and the winged ox, crafted in solid gold in classic polished round designs, and guaranteed authentic — never plated.
The classic gift for a medical school graduation, white coat ceremony, residency match, board certification, or an artist's first exhibition — and for the Feast of St. Luke on October 18th. Pairs beautifully with a matching gold chain — or see our St. Raphael medals, the archangel of healing, and the full saint medals collection.
