He lifts a chalice in one hand and holds a host in a burst of rays in the other, so that both signs of the Eucharist are gathered into a single small figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a First Communion image, and a beautiful piece of theology in miniature: the Child offering, already, what he will one day give at the altar and on the cross. Medals like this were pressed into a child's hand on the morning of a first Communion and kept for the rest of a life. The reverse of the antique original carries the proof of that, a monogram of interlaced initials engraved by hand inside the outline of a lily, with a date beneath it. Those marks are carried faithfully into the casting, the trace of whoever first received it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":48943497904313,"sku":"3c3-428M-B","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-428M-B.png?v=1787688730","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-child-jesus-with-the-eucharist-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
