The figural side shows a priest giving Communion to a kneeling child at the rail. The other face gathers the signs: the dove of the Holy Spirit above, a radiant host at the center, wheat at the left and a vine heavy with grapes at the right, and a lamb lying quietly at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheat and vine are the bread and wine before they are ever brought to the altar; the lamb is Christ himself, the Lamb of God received in them; the dove is the Spirit who makes the exchange. Medals like this one were given on the morning of a first Communion and kept for a lifetime afterward, resurfacing at a confirmation, a wedding, or in the back of a drawer sixty years later. The relief is worn soft on the antique original, and this casting keeps that softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe First Communion 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":48943441215673,"sku":"3c3-697-B","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-697-B.png?v=1787688713","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-first-communion-medal-with-dove-and-lamb","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
