Cord of St. Philomena

100% cotton

Numerous blessings have been bestowed by the Cord of Saint Philomena. It is used by those who are ill and provides protection from tragedies and evil. It has proven to be of great help to those who are enduring temporal trials or spiritual temptations. The cord is worn specifically to protect the virtue of chastity. St. Philomena's virginal purity was so exceptional that God has endowed her with the unique ability to help those who are tempted to stray from this virtue.
