Our Lady stands at the left, veiled, her arms opened wide and a glow rising behind her. Winged figures ride a bank of cloud in the upper right, and below them several more figures rise out of flames with their arms lifted toward her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition belongs to the long tradition of Marian intercession for the holy souls, the Virgin reaching down to those who can no longer help themselves and angels carrying them up out of the fire. A medal like this was made for people who prayed for their dead as a matter of daily habit, in November and in every other month of the year, and it puts that habit into one image: mercy asked for, and mercy given.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Our Lady of Mercy 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":48943465824441,"sku":"3c3-604-B","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-604-B.png?v=1787688720","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-our-lady-of-mercy-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
