Our Lady stands at the center, crowned, with rays behind her and the Christ Child held before her and a cross rising at her right side, and the relief is full and rounded, almost sculptural for a piece of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the entire rim, in block capitals, runs the petition \u003cstrong\u003eMOTHER OF CHRIST BLESS OUR HOME\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a small cartouche at the foot carries the date of the antique original, \u003cem\u003e1926\u003c\/em\u003e. Medals of this kind were given at weddings and at house blessings, kept where the household could see them, and the prayer they carry is the plainest one a family makes: that the place they live in be under her protection. It remains one of the better gifts for a new marriage or a first house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":48943497314489,"sku":"3c3-439-B","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-439-B.png?v=1787688728","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-mother-of-christ-bless-our-home-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
