LUCKY BELL PENDANT - MEDIUM

There is an ancient legend tied to the island of Capri that tells the story of a poor shepherd boy, orphaned of his father, who owned no material possessions other than a little sheep.

It is said that one evening, at dusk, the boy had lingered to gather some flowers, and when he turned to call his little sheep, it had disappeared from his sight.

“My only sheep, it is lost!” cried the shepherd boy desperately. “What will I do now?” At some point, however, he seemed to hear a faint ringing from afar, and thinking it was the bell the sheep wore around its neck, he made his way toward the direction of the tinkling sound.

He began to run barefoot, through thorns and rocks, as the night had already fallen, until he reached the edge of a ravine, where a sudden light stopped him. Wrapped in a golden glow, Saint Michael appeared, shining on his white horse.

“My child,” said the Saint, removing a bell from around his neck, “take this and always follow its sound; it will save you from every danger.”

The shepherd boy, trembling with emotion and joy, soon found his sheep and made his way home, bringing the bell as a gift to his mother. From then on, his life changed forever, and every earthly desire of his was fulfilled.
