The one at the right holds a long slender cross-staff and reaches across to pour water over the head of the other, who bows with his hands joined at his breast, while above them the field opens into light. Everything is modeled at a small scale, but the gesture at the center is unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long cross-staff belongs to \u003cstrong\u003eJohn the Baptist\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the scene is the baptism in the Jordan, the moment the Gospels set at the beginning of Christ's public ministry, when the heavens opened and the voice named him beloved. No lettering appears anywhere on the medal; the two figures and the staff carry the story between them. It makes a fitting piece for a baptism, for a godchild, or for the anniversary of one's own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Baptism of the Lord medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943632122041,"sku":"3c3-1095-B","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1095-B.png?v=1787688780","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-baptism-of-the-lord-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
