Sacred or Decorative? The Spiritual Consequences of Disrespecting Saint Medals
In many spiritual spaces today, saint medals have become aesthetic.
They are placed in self-care boxes, sold in curated kits, added to jewelry for visual appeal, or used in workings without understanding their origin or weight. What was once sacred becomes decorative, what was once devotional becomes consumable.
