St. Florian Medal – Patron Saint of Firemen, Fire Fighters, and Chimney Sweeps Gifts Catholic

Saint Florian oval medal that depicts the saint on the front and “Pray For Us” on the back. This detailed die-cast medal is made in the region of Italy that produces the finest quality medals in the world.

He is the patron of Saint of Linz, Austria, and Poland; firefighters, chimney sweeps, brewers, and soapmakers; invoked against drowning, fire, and floods.

There are several reasons why it’s believed Saint Florian earned the title of the patron saint of fire and firefighters: legend says that during his life, St. Florian put out a massive fire with only one bucket of water, saving a village from ruin. St. Florian is often depicted in artwork pouring water from a bucket or small vessel. Many years after St. Florian’s death, a man said he was saved from a deadly fire when he called on St. Florian, begging for his intercession. Because he was killed by drowning, Saint Florian is also often sought out as a protector against the dangers of water including drowning and flooding. The feast of St. Florian is celebrated May 4, coinciding with International Firefighter’s Day. If you have a loved one who is a firefighter, consider giving them the gift of St. Florian’s protection that can be worn or kept nearby as a reminder to pray to the saint for his protection in the most dangerous situations.
