It is the scene the Church has loved for centuries: St. Anne teaching her daughter to read, the first lesson of the Virgin's life. The two heads nearly touch, and the whole tenderness of the subject is carried in that one gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surround is worked as a lattice band with cast rosettes at the head and foot and a blossom at either side, so the medal reads as flowers before you see the figures at all. St. Anne is the patroness of mothers and grandmothers, and of every woman teaching a child what she knows, which makes this a natural gift between a mother and a daughter or from a grandmother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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":48943472804025,"sku":"3c3-588-B","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-588-B.png?v=1787688723","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-anne-teaching-the-virgin-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
