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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003cem\u003eCONGREGACION DE LA VIRGEN NIÑA\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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":48943644803257,"sku":"3c3-1051-B","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1051-B.png?v=1787688780","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-la-virgen-ni-a-presentation-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
