A chalice and host stand at the center of the front among lily blossoms and oak leaves, with the legend carried unbroken around the rim: \u003cstrong\u003eNOTRE DAME DE LA 1re COMMUNION\u003c\/strong\u003e above and \u003cstrong\u003ePRIEZ POUR NOUS\u003c\/strong\u003e within. The reverse turns to the altar itself, a monstrance raised at the center, two angels kneeling in adoration to either side, sheaves of wheat and clusters of grapes gathered along the lower edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe French reads \u003cem\u003eOur Lady of the First Communion, pray for us\u003c\/em\u003e, and it places Mary beside the child at the rail as the first and closest witness of the sacrament. The wheat and the grapes are the bread and the wine shown in their raw state, before the altar makes them something more; the kneeling angels are the traditional adorers of the Eucharist. Lilies for purity and oak for endurance complete a design made to be given once and kept for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Notre Dame de la Premiere Communion 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":48943441445049,"sku":"3c3-688-B","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-688-B.png?v=1787688714","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-notre-dame-de-la-premiere-communion-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
