It is the attitude of the Miraculous Medal, and it is the whole point of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat open-handed pose comes from what St Catherine Laboure saw in the rue du Bac in 1830: Our Lady standing with rays streaming from her fingers, which she was told were the graces she pours out on those who ask for them. Some of the stones on her hands sent out no light, Catherine noticed, because no one had asked for what they held. Under the title of Our Lady of Grace, the image is an invitation quite as much as a portrait.\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":48943479849145,"sku":"3c3-487M-B","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-487M-B.png?v=1787688727","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-our-lady-of-grace-figural-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
