Welcome to the world of Tiny Saints—a joyful way to help children and families learn about the lives and stories of faithful Catholics who have shaped the Church. Measuring just one inch tall and made from durable rubber, these miniature charms are designed to go wherever faith goes.
Saint James the Apostle, also known as Saint James the Greater, holds a special place in the history of Christian pilgrimage. His resting place in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, has drawn pilgrims from around the world for centuries. The long and demanding journey—known as El Camino de Santiago—became one of the most important pilgrimages in Christendom.
Scallop shells emerged as symbols of this pilgrimage and are worn as badges of honor by those who complete the journey. Saint James is the patron saint of Spain, pilgrims, and travelers, and throughout history he was frequently invoked for courage, perseverance, and protection. Spanish explorers and conquistadors especially sought his intercession as they traveled into the unknown.
This Tiny Saints® charm honors Saint James, reminding us that faith is often a journey—marked by sacrifice, endurance, and trust in God’s guidance.
