A pierced fleur-de-lis crest finishes the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Lady, Untier of Knots takes her name from an old German painting of the Virgin loosening a knotted ribbon, and the devotion has spread widely from Latin America in recent decades. The knots are the tangles in a life that no one can loosen alone: an old quarrel, a habit, a situation with no visible way out. The lettering is Spanish and clear. The figural face reads \u003cstrong\u003eMadre de Dios\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMother of God\u003c\/em\u003e; the face with the hands reads \u003cstrong\u003eMadre nuestra\u003c\/strong\u003e above and \u003cstrong\u003eProtegeme\u003c\/strong\u003e below, \u003cem\u003eOur Mother, protect me\u003c\/em\u003e. Patience is the point of the image: the hands are not tearing at the knots, they are working them loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Untier of Knots 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":48943594864825,"sku":"3c3-1246-B","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1246-B.png?v=1787688769","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-our-lady-untier-of-knots-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
