I got this Tiny Saints charm for Easter this year.  On the back it has a little information about Our Lady of Good Health.  Our Lady of Good Health can be traced to three 16th-century miracles that happened in India near the small town of Vailankanni.  There, Mary appeared to a shepherd boy, cured a sick child, and rescued Portuguese sailors from the violent storm.  Our Lady of Good Health is depicted in a brilliant orange Indian sari.  The Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Vailankanni welcomes millions of visitors every year.  Her feast day is September 8.  She is the patron of good health, healing, India, and sailors.

Share sacramentals* (statues, pictures, prayer cards, etc.) to honor Mary.

A sacramental is a material object, thing or action (sacramentalia) set apart or blessed to manifest the respect due to the Sacraments and so to excite pious thoughts and to increase devotion to God.

Let us join our hearts in this prayer to our Blessed Mother:

O Mary,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.  Amen.

-From Pope Francis's Prayer to Mary

My dad got this crucifix for me to hang in my bedroom.  This cross correctly shows one way Jesus may have been crucified. If the nails went through the hands and not the wrist, rope would have been tied around the arms to support Jesus’ weight on the cross. This is a reminder of how much Jesus suffered on the cross. He died on the cross to save us from our sins.
