{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-the-hand-that-helps-charm","title":"Vintage Bronze The Hand That Helps Charm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hand That Helps is exactly what its name says: an open hand held upright, the fingers together and the thumb spread, rising from a broad textured cuff at the wrist, with a raised rounded boss at the center of the palm. The gesture is a hand offered rather than a hand asking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVotive hands belong to a wide folk tradition of protective charms, and in Catholic practice they stand close to the milagros pinned to shrine images throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Where a milagro hand petitions, for work or for healing or for the hands that keep a family fed, this one answers. It is the help that arrives: the hand put out to someone who has slipped, the old promise that no one is left to manage alone. Carried in a pocket or worn close, it is a small daily reminder to be that hand for somebody else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe charm 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":48943657746617,"sku":"3c3-27-B","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-27-B.png?v=1787688786","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-the-hand-that-helps-charm","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
