The Miraculous Virgin
The Miraculous Virgin Medal is struck in 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000). A magnificent depiction of the Miraculous Virgin, perfectly true to tradition. Around this oval jewel runs a short prayer: «O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee».
Created following the 2nd apparition of the Virgin to Saint Catherine in 1830, this medal depicts the Miraculous Virgin standing on the globe, arms outstretched, crushing beneath her foot a serpent symbolising evil.
On the reverse, the «M» of Mary, surmounted by a cross, is surrounded by 12 stars symbolising her crown and her power over Creation. Below, the hearts of Jesus and Mary, from which two flames rise, evoke the love borne for mankind.
To give this christening medal is to place a child under the protection of the Virgin.
The dimensions indicated are the height of the oval itself (excluding bail).
