One side carries a flaming heart set at the centre of a deep sunburst, its rays chased into the broadly flared arms in fine hatched lines. The other carries a small standing Virgin, haloed and with her hands lowered, applied beneath a pierced openwork crown and her own burst of rays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of the most beloved devotions in the Church are held together in one piece of metal, and the design gives each of them a sun of its own. The hammered surfaces and applied elements belong to a Southwestern folk tradition, where crosses were built up piece by piece by village smiths rather than cast in a single plane, and where the making was itself an act of devotion. That handmade quality is what carries over here: nothing is machine-smooth, and the light breaks unevenly across the hatching exactly as it did on the old cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sacred Heart and Our Lady cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the piece'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":48942660812985,"sku":"3c3-993-B","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-993-B.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-heart-and-our-lady-cross","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
