Christ, haloed and bearded, holds a young beardless disciple who has leaned back against his breast; a chalice stands on the table before them and a column rises behind. This is John the Evangelist at the Last Supper, the disciple whom Jesus loved, resting on his Lord in the hour the Eucharist was given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse says what the medal was for. Inside a lobed cartouche wreathed in flowering stems, four lines read \u003cstrong\u003eRECUERDO DE MI PRIMERA COMUNION\u003c\/strong\u003e, souvenir of my First Communion. The pairing of the two scenes is the whole idea: the child who receives for the first time is put in John's place at the table, near enough to hear the heart of Christ. It makes a keepsake with rather more weight to it than most.\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":48943549874361,"sku":"3c3-1484-B","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1484-B.png?v=1787688749","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-first-communion-medal-christ-and-st-john","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
