Christ is shown facing left, long-haired and bearded, against a nimbus of fine rays, and below the shoulder sits a small flaming heart with rays spreading around it. The two together give the whole devotion in three quarters of an inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe profile portrait belongs to the old tradition of the Holy Face, held to preserve a true likeness of Christ, while the flaming heart names the devotion revealed at Paray-le-Monial. Combining them was a favourite economy of French rosary makers, who could not fit a full figure into a center and were unwilling to give up either idea. The piece carries no lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis openwork center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its 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":48943518482617,"sku":"3c3-288-B","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-288-B.png?v=1787688740","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-heart-in-profile-openwork-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
