KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 10:24 pm Very plausible, and most likely from a Catholic area of Germany (or Austria) I think it reads "Receive the holy spirit...through the laying on of Your hands". Can you read the name on the bottom of the medal? That might help an ID. Report this Post to the Staff
