The Medal depicts St. John The Baptist baptizing Jesus, with the Holy Spirit approaching.
Saint John the Baptist is the patron saint of Puerto Rico, and its capital city San Juan bears his name. In
1521, the island was given its formal name "San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico", following the usual custom of
christening the town with both its formal name and the name which Christopher Columbus had originally given the
island, honoring John the Baptist. The indistinct use of "San Juan Bautista" and "Puerto Rico" for calling both
the city and the island led to a reversal in practical use by most inhabitants due largely to a map-making
error. Therefore by 1746 the name for the city (Puerto Rico) had become that of the entire island, while the
name for the island (San Juan Bautista) had become the name for the city. The official motto for the island of
Puerto Rico also references the saint, Joannes Est Nomen Eius (translated, "John is his name").
He is also a patron saint of French Canada, and Newfoundland. The Canadian cities of St. John's, Newfoundland
(1497) and Saint John, New Brunswick (1604) were both named in his honor. In the UK Saint John the Baptist is
the patron saint of Penzance, Cornwall. His feast day is June 24, celebrated in Quebec as the Fte nationale du
Qubec (la Fte St-Jean-Baptiste).
