My uncle's friend went to my Great Aunts old house (She died and the house was torn down) and he used a Metal ditector to see if he could find anything.
Well he found a necklace (No one knows who's it is, because my Great Aunt never wore it before)
My uncle gave me the necklace because he thinks that i'm questioning my faith in the Lord for some reason.
I've heard of necklaces of the saints before but i've never seen one of Mary mother of God.
It even has a Prayer on it.
There is a number on it, it's 16 30, would that be a bible verse about mary? or the date it was made? (it looks to good to be that old)
The Prayer is:
O Mar, conceived without sin, pray for us who have, recourse to thee.
The pendent is kinda beat up so i don't know if i said the prayer right.
Have you hear this prayer before?

Like others here have also stated, it's a Miraculous Medal. I have one too, and wear it frequently. I look to Our Lady as a source of strength in times of trial, so wearing the necklace is a helpful tool in my prayer life. Marian devotion is amazing. If you're interested in developing a deeper relationship with the mother of our lord, take a look at the site listed below for links to the common prayers and devotions. God bless!

Yes, it is a pendant necklace that was given to St. Catherine Laboure by the blessed Virgin in a vision. The prayer means Mary Virgine Mother of God who was sinless, pray for all of us who ask you for prayers.
1830 is more likely the year as when Catherine Laboure had this vision. Look it up under Catholic-Forum and her name.

Mary is not to be worshipped in any way shape or form. She is the evil female god of the ancients in a new form to get new followers for the coming days. She is nothing more than the offspring of the Nephilim of the old testament as we worship her she grows in power. Anything having to do with a vision of Mary like the one that necklace was made for or Fatima is just this evil demi-god posing to win souls for satan...

It is a Miraculous Medal. The numbers are actually 1830, the year Our Lady appeared to Sr. Catherine Laboure.

It's Catholic. The prayer sounds similar to one we say during the Rosary but not identical.

No. You don't need a necklace with Mary to get closer to God. You need to read the Bible for yourself.
