Unlike other traveler's medals, this one is marked MADE IN FRANCE.

At some point in the Bible (Mark 4:36), Jesus and his disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee in a boat when a great storm breaks. Impassive, Jesus sleeps in the stern of the boat until the terrified men wake him up. A few words from Jesus and everything is back to normal, accompanied by the silent question: "Where is your faith, gentlemen? For this medal, IN TEMPESTATE SECURITAS is Latin for "safety in the storm".

On the other side of the medal, the patron saint George (S GEORGIVS PATRONVS) on his horse (EQVITVM) slays a dragon, a Christian tradition adapted from Eastern Orthodoxy.

A la différence des autres médailles du voyageur celle-ci est notée MADE IN FRANCE

À un moment donné dans la Bible (Marc 4:36), Jésus et ses disciples traversent la mer de Galilée dans une barque lorsqu'une grande tempête se lève. Impassible, Jésus dort à l'arrière du bateau jusqu'à ce que les hommes, terrifiés, le réveillent. Quelques mots de Jésus et tout rentre dans l'ordre, accompagnés de la question silencieuse : "Où est votre foi, messieurs ? Pour cette médaille, IN TEMPESTATE SECURITAS signifie en latin " la sécurité dans la tempête ".

Sur l'autre face de la médaille, le saint patron Georges (S GEORGIVS PATRONVS) sur son cheval (EQVITVM) terrassant un dragon, une tradition chrétienne adaptée de l'orthodoxie orientale.
