However, I've never seen a holy medal of her and am not sure if Orthodox Catholics follow this practice. If they do, could someone tell me how to obtain one? Thanks!!

I'm not sure how we would know which one St. Melanie was actually called in her day. I'm looking for more info on St. Melanie or St. Melania, and with the different spellings it does get confusing!

My mother was adminent about the fact that there was in fact 2-3 saints baring the name Melanie. Actually, I learned that one was a young girl that was recognized as a maryter because she died for her faith. The other was in fact a male monk from France named Melanie in the 13th Circa.Last, St. Melanie as noted above. I constantly have mistpronunctions of my name. You are all right, it is pronounced phonetically...Mel-annie- hence Melanie. Melanie Hi There,
