"Terra De Fatima" Medal


I went to the newly open Carlo SS (守礼社) in Johor Bahru (1). It's a great news for me as this will be a new place for me to buy some religios related materials in town.
Lots of things attracted me, especially this Terra De Fatima Medal. According to the shop attendant, the back side of the medal contain a small bit of soil from Fátima (2).

Front, it wrote "N-S-Do Rosario Da Fatima" ("Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima''), Portugese for "Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima".


Back, it wrote "Terra De Fatima", Portugese for "Earth from Fatima" or "Land of Fatima". The back side also contained a grain of earth from Fatima.
