Five doves wheel across the front with olive sprigs in their beaks and stars scattered between them, all turning around the single word \u003cem\u003ePAX\u003c\/em\u003e at the centre. The relief is broad and shallow, so the face reads clearly at arm's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is the reason to own it. A lit torch crossed with an olive branch stands in the middle, and around it the word for peace is cast in more than a dozen tongues — \u003cem\u003ePAZ\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMIR\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFRED\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVREDE\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePEACE\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePACE\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePAIX\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFRIEDEN\u003c\/em\u003e and others, in Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and East Asian letters. The dove with the olive branch is Noah's, the first sign that the flood was over, and the medal reads as a prayer for the peace Christ leaves with his Church, offered for the whole world at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pax 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":48943556853945,"sku":"3c3-1423-B","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1423-B.png?v=1787688755","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-pax-peace-medal-doves-and-many-tongues","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
