Across the top, in large open letters, stands the single word \u003cstrong\u003eVIRGO\u003c\/strong\u003e — Virgin — the oldest and simplest of her titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse turns to the grotto. A figure stands in the rock niche above; below her a girl kneels with her hands joined. This is Lourdes, where in 1858 Bernadette Soubirous knelt at the rock of Massabielle and saw a lady standing in the opening above her, and where the sick have come for healing ever since. Six small portrait roundels ring the scene in a foliate border, and the letters \u003cstrong\u003eIHS\u003c\/strong\u003e, the monogram of the name of Jesus, are set among them. The lilies belong to Mary's purity, the roses to her love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Virgo medal with Lourdes grotto 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":48943632285881,"sku":"3c3-1091-B","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1091-B.png?v=1787688777","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-virgo-medal-with-lourdes-grotto","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
