Pelgrimage token Sant Andres de Teixido, Sant andres de teijido prayer token,

...catholic charm A small brass prayer token of San Andres de teijido. Length 2.7 cm. After the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, this sanctuary is the second one in Galicia (Spain). A temple that has its origin in the twelfth century, although the church dates from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The best known and perhaps the most important is the saying “A san Andrés de Teixido, vais de morto o que non foi de vivo”. It is a sanctuary where the Christian cult of St. Andrew is mixed with pagan rites and pre-Christian traditions. Perfect as a small individual pendant, or to wear on a charm bracelet. All my religious tokens are original vintage items (not reproductions) and will have age and handling-related wear, as they were carried and handled every day by the faithful. Please look carefully at the photographs so you can see the flaws and the beauty in these items.
