I have worn this particular medal for years. It is so hated by Satin, the hammer and tongs or pinchers. Are a reminder to us that the nails are our sins. And tongs or the pinchers. Are forgiveness. Or to us Catholics , confession. So I have another one in the cart, ready to buy! One of the last things that Satin wants to remind us of is that God is there and ready to forgive, Any and all sins. He hates us so much, he would rather have us in hell.
