The left heart carries an upright cross standing in its fire, the mark of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The right is pierced through by a sword, the mark of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and both faces are covered with fine engraved lines that run like foliage across the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sword comes from Simeon, who told Mary in the temple that a sword would pierce her own soul also, and it was fulfilled at the foot of the cross. Pairing her heart with her Son's is one of the oldest habits of Catholic devotion, the mother's sorrow set beside the son's love, and casting them joined rather than separate makes the point without a word: what wounded one wounded the other. Nothing on the piece is lettered, and nothing needs to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sacred and Immaculate Hearts 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":48943403663545,"sku":"3c3-878-B","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-878-B.png?v=1787688701","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-and-immaculate-hearts-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
