Within it Christ appears half-length with a nimbus of fine rays behind his head, one hand raised toward the flaming heart set upon his breast, rays spreading from the heart across the chest. It is the standard image of the devotion, modelled here with unusual softness in the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe devotion took this familiar form after the visions granted to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque at Paray-le-Monial in the 1670s, in which Christ showed his heart and asked that it be honored for its love of humanity. Centers like this one were made in large numbers through the two centuries that followed, and the gesture they record, a hand pointing to the heart, has never needed a caption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rosary 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":48943518318777,"sku":"3c3-293-B","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-293-B.png?v=1787688740","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-sacred-heart-of-jesus-oval-center","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
