This rustic journal cover belongs to our Coraggio collection, and features our St. Michael the Archangel design.

For the writer in all of us, this 5.75" x 9.25" journal cover is the lifelong companion you can use for all your future journals. Measuring 9.25" tall, and 11.75" when opened, this cover comes with an internal journal, and then can be refilled with a new one when you're ready! With a wrap-around leather strap, each journal cover includes a strap that is used to keep it held together while you travel! Crafted from 100% soft, genuine leather, each one comes in differing shades and patterns - no two are the same. The included inside journal comes with a tag of the artisan’s name that personally crafted your journal and has around 100 pages of standard-ruled paper. They are designed and engraved in our Steubenville, OH workshop.

Hand-crafted in Honduras, these leather journals were created by the individuals at Lazarus Artisan Goods. Through this ministry, men and women are taught to make high quality goods while receiving sustainable wages, health-care, and an education. Their goal is to not only help their workers financially, but to teach them to find dignity and purpose in all that they do.

These journals are only available while supplies last.

[Coraggio Design - St. Michael the Archangel Symbol]

This ancient symbol has been used in Christian homes, churches, and even tattoos for centuries. Sometimes called the “butterfly cross,” this symbol is a monogram of the Ancient Greek spelling of St. Michael the Archangel’s name - ΜΙΧΑΗΛ. This symbol has been found in the entrances to ancient buildings and churches to protect those who entered, and even on or around baptismal fonts. In more recent years, this symbol has been found as a tattoo on an ancient Sudanese mummy, likely for protection. With a rich history within the church, this symbol has endured through the years as one of protection and safety. 

The banner beneath the main symbol reads “Quis ut Deus,” which means “Who is like God?” in Latin, which is the meaning of St. Michael’s name.

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, Catholic to the Max has partnered with the Lazarus Artisan Shop in Honduras to bring you this fair-trade, hand-crafted leather item. May it give you the courage for the adventure of an authentic Christian life!

Both we at Catholic to the Max and Mission Lazarus thank you for helping support our teams of talented individuals.
