The plain oval field around it throws the relief forward, while the border is worked into a wide lace of pierced scrolls, leaves and small blossoms, gathered at the top into a little crown and finished below with a scrolled drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChalice and Host together are the oldest shorthand for the Eucharist: the body given and the blood poured out, the one thing the Church does at every altar every day. Setting them inside a frame of flowering openwork is a Spanish and Latin American habit of mind, where the sacrament is crowned and garlanded rather than merely stated, and the original from which this piece comes carries the softened edges of long devotional wear. It suits anyone with a particular love for the Eucharist, and it makes a fitting First Communion or Corpus Christi gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Eucharistic chalice 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":48943650963641,"sku":"3c3-1005-B","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1005-B.png?v=1787688786","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-eucharistic-chalice-medal-in-lace-frame","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
