[Coraggio Design - Scallop]
The scallop shell is a symbol of St. James the Great, an apostle and the patron saint of Spain. One legend claims that when St. James was denounced for his religion and executed, his body was placed in a boat to drift away at sea. The boat miraculously drifted back to the coast of Spain, his home country. Those who found the boat claimed that the hull of the boat was covered in scallop shells. Since then, scallops have been used as a symbol of pilgrimage, their imaged being used to mark paths and point pilgrims in the right direction. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela would collect scallops as proof their journey, decorating their hats, clothes, or making simple necklaces from them, to show everyone their dedication to the pilgrimage. Show your own dedication to the cause of spreading the word of the Lord with this scallop design!

Once, as Pope St. John Paul II battled illness, a Capuchin friar stood below his window with a fist in the sky and shouted, "Coraggio! (Courage!)" Inspired by this story, we at Catholic to the Max wanted to create a product line devoted to inspiring others to have courage and spark real life conversations about Christ. With this in mind, we've created a new set of designs that are Catholic, engaging, but also a little unclear. By stirring curiosity in others, our hope is when someone asks you about your shirt, journal, bracelet, etc, you have the opportunity and courage to proclaim the message of Jesus. You can learn more about the Coraggio brand by visiting our new website: livecoraggio.com.
