The Christ Child lies raised on a heaped bed of straw, a disc halo behind his head, one arm lifted and the other resting across a fold of cloth, and the straw is cut in fine parallel strokes that fill the lower half of the field and catch the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristmas medals are less common than one might expect, and this one keeps to the simplest possible telling: the Child, the straw, the light behind his head, and nothing else. It is the whole doctrine of the Incarnation in one small picture, God not visiting the world but lying down in it, on straw, in the cold, waiting for someone else to lift him. It makes a natural gift at a birth or a baptism, or at Christmas itself.\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 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":48943497019577,"sku":"3c3-447-B","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-447-B.png?v=1787688728","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-christ-child-in-the-manger-medal-447","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
