The tail feathers fan out below, each one ruled in, the breast is worked in fine overlapping scales, and the ground behind the bird is left rough and matte so that the polished relief stands sharply against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dove has stood for the Holy Spirit since the Jordan, where it came down on Christ at his baptism, and shown descending with the wings out it is the image of the Spirit arriving: at a baptism, at a confirmation, at Pentecost with the wind and the fire. Small medals of this kind were often given at Confirmation, which is the right occasion for an image carrying no lettering at all. The gift is the thing, and it does not need explaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Holy Spirit 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":48943525527737,"sku":"3c3-1595-B","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1595-B.png?v=1787688744","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-holy-spirit-dove-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
