My cherished piece of item is a sterling silver St Michael the Archangel necklace pendant I call it my lucky charm. The physical appearance of the Saint Michael pendant is silver in color with a polished surface. On the pendant we see the saint stepping on the head of another who is deemed as Satan, and if you look keenly, Saint Michael is holding a sword on one hand just about to slain the Satan. This pendant is symbolic in many ways, the major revelation of the necklace is the battle between good and evil. In line with the pendant, the good is overpowering evil as Satan is already on the ground.

The pendant was given to me by my maternal grandmother. By the look of thing she cherished it too; to her, it was like a form of prayer just carrying it around her neck. She gave me with great love and being a religious woman the piece meant a lot to her. I call it my lucky charm as I believe there is a positive energy in it that is almost divine which make me accomplish everything I put my mind and heart to do. I remember when my grandmother first gave me the piece I saw that smile in her face as she said to me, ‘he will lead your way,’ she was referring to Saint Michael. I kept the pendant close to my heart and I heavily guarded as most of the time it was around my neck or in my safe well hidden in my bedroom. I strongly believed grandma’s words; there was an underlying message on this pendant. Once in a while, I would find myself staring at the pendant as it was trying to tell me something although the words were not coming out loud. The sensation that it gives me is that heavenly manifestation.
My grandmother passed away about fifteen years ago, but I still hold on to the pendant which is now also in her memory. As far as the pendant is a symbol of good and evil, which over the year I thought it was the mystery my grandmother wanted me to find on my own, I have realized the pendant meant something more. It serves as a constant reminder. A timely reminder that good is the side in which I belong, so doing good is not an option, but it should be my tradition. Even as I reflected the life of my late grandmother who gave me the pendant, she was a wise woman. Everyone in the community recognized her as a person with an immaculate heart always choosing to do good even if she did not receive the same treatment. In the same way, as I put on the pendant, I should as well follow her legacy.
In conclusion, a cherished item is a reservoir for the soul; it represents many purposes or just a reminder of a major happening in one’s life. My silver St Michael the Archangel necklace pendant will always remain close to my heart.
