{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-immaculate-conception-crucifix","title":"Vintage Bronze Immaculate Conception Crucifix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Immaculate Conception Crucifix keeps its quietest work for the back. The front is plain but for a beaded border and small foliate sprays worked into the arms and terminals, while the reverse carries the standing Virgin with her hands lowered and open, the globe beneath her feet and the serpent under the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat attitude is the one shown to St. Catherine Laboure in the rue du Bac in Paris in 1830, the image she was asked to have struck as the Miraculous Medal. French lettering runs across both arms and down the shaft: \u003cem\u003eJe suis l'Immaculee Conception\u003c\/em\u003e, I am the Immaculate Conception, the words the Virgin used of herself and the reason the devotion carries that name. Worn daily, the piece sets her answer against the crucifix on the other side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique French original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the piece'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":48943638282425,"sku":"3c3-1077-B","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1077-B.png?v=1787688780","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-immaculate-conception-crucifix","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
