Product Details
Both faces of the La Virgen Niña medal tell one story. On the first, a small haloed child stands alone within a ring of stars, her hands lowered, framed by a lobed border. On the second, that same child climbs a flight of temple steps toward the robed figures waiting at the top.
This is the Presentation of Mary, the moment her parents brought her to the temple and gave her over to God — a feast the Church keeps in November, and one of the few images that shows Our Lady as a little girl rather than as a mother or a queen. The arched legend reads CONGREGACION DE LA VIRGEN NIÑA, the Congregation of the Child Virgin, a Spanish confraternity devoted to Mary in her childhood. The ring of stars set around the child is the crown that belongs to her in glory, given here to a girl still climbing the steps. For anyone praying for a daughter, the subject is a rare and tender one.
The La Virgen Niña 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
