Kid’s Saint Earrings - St Augustine Seashells

Saint Earrings for Kids!  Earrings with special meanings to remind kids of their favorite Saints and remember that they are called to sainthood too!

This pair of iridescent seashells is perfect for St Augustine fans.     

Did you know seashells are a traditional symbol for St Augustine.  The story goes that while writing one of his books, he was struggling with the idea of the Trinity and how God could be three persons in one God.  He was walking along the beach thinking of this when he saw a little child going back and forth scooping up sea water and putting into a small hole in the sand.  Curious, he asked the child what he was doing.  The child responded that he was putting the sea into the hole.  When Augustine told the child how impossible it was to put the big sea into the small hole, the child replied that it wasn’t anymore impossible than what Augustine was trying to do by understanding the mysteries of God with his small intelligence.  Augustine turned away in amazement and when he looked back the child was gone.   

 Each seashell measures 10 mm and has a plastic post so that even the most sensitive ears can sport earrings.
