Cristina's Medallion is a golden religious Shadowhunter pedant worn by Cristina to symbolize her faith in the Angel Raziel. The medallion is consecrated to the Angel Raziel, denoting that the wearer's belief that the Angel was a living presence as opposed to a distant figure. 
== Description ==
An image of Raziel is etched on the front, and a line on the back says, in Latin: "Blessed be the Angel my strength which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight."
The medallion is a faerie charm, gifted to the Rosales family by the hadas (the faeries) they are connected to. The necklace has since become a family heirloom carried down through generations.
== Function ==
Cristina often looks to the medallion for support, touching it when she needs luck, bravery, or strength, or when she feels nervous.
The medallion also protects the wearer from the time differences between the mortal and faerie lands; the protection may also be extended to others if they stay close to the wearer of the medallion. It also allows non-faeries to take the moon's road into Faerieland, something which typically only those with faerie blood can do.
== Trivia ==
* The Latin words on its back were derived from the Bible, reworded to fit Shadowhunter religion.
