Seller's Note/ Our provider told us: All of those pendants were bought in churches or outside, especially during religious holidays as prayer tokens of their pilgrimage. Not a souvenir, but rather a devout and holy remembrance. Most of them people wear on their neck just like today, at least here, or old ladies keep them in their wallets, used for prayers or good luck charms.
