Patron of dogs, dog lovers, and invalids
Roch was born a French noble, but early on he developed a strong sympathy for the poor. At the age of 20, he gave his fortune to the poor and left on a pilgrimage. He came across a town afflicted by the plague. He stayed to help the sick and miraculously cured several people, but then got the disease himself. He went into a forest to die, but a stray dog fed him food stolen from his master's table and Roch recovered. Roch was arrested but never mentioned his nobility. He died after five years in prison.
This handcrafted round piece is fired into the clay at 2200, producing remarkable clarity and ceramic-hard durability that will not peel or wear off. Each is surprisingly lightweight, finished to a satin touch and comfortable to wear.
The Touchstone Pottery Saint Roch oval Patron Saints porcelain necklace comes packaged in a gift box with a card describing the story of the saint. The Touchstone Pottery necklace has a silver-tone bale that will accommodate a variety of chains cords, or wires (check size above), if you want to replace the cord.
