The front sets the Child Jesus standing haloed within a pointed oval, one hand reaching out in blessing, on a ground powdered with tiny fleurs-de-lis and flanked by roses. The reverse turns to the guardian angel: a winged figure walking beside a small child, a hand raised as if pointing the way ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the front runs \u003cstrong\u003eCONGREGATION DE L'ENFANT JESUS\u003c\/strong\u003e — Congregation of the Child Jesus. Medals of this kind were given by teaching congregations to the children in their care, which explains the pairing exactly: the Holy Child on one side, and on the other the angel who walks beside a child and does not leave. For a French schoolchild it was both a prize and a promise, and it is still a natural gift at a baptism or a first Communion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Child Jesus medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943525724345,"sku":"3c3-1589-B","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1589-B.png?v=1787688743","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-child-jesus-and-guardian-angel-medal-french","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
