On the front the crowned Virgin and Child are seated above a small house with a tiled roof and shuttered windows, angels kneeling at either side to carry it. On the reverse a propeller aeroplane banks low over a patchwork of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house is the Holy House of Loreto, the walls of Nazareth where the angel greeted Mary, carried through the air by angels to the Italian coast according to the old tradition. Because of that flight Our Lady of Loreto was named patroness of aviators by Benedict XV in 1920, and pilots and air crews have asked her protection ever since. The original of this medal was plainly made to be carried by someone who flew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Loreto 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":48943569305785,"sku":"3c3-1365-B","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1365-B.png?v=1787688757","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-our-lady-of-loreto-medal-with-aeroplane","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
