The medal shows an open hand raised palm outward, the pierced hand of the crucified Christ, on one face, and a pair of long nails crossed at their heads on the other. The five links repeat the instruments of the Passion in the same plain hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is lettered on any of the pieces; the wounds and the nails carry the whole meaning by themselves, as they have done in the country devotion of southeastern Europe for centuries, the originals here being Bulgarian. Meditating on the Five Wounds is among the oldest ways of praying the Passion, older than most of the written prayers that came after it, and this little group says it without a single word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe medal and links were faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves their 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":48943594700985,"sku":"3c3-1247-B","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1247-B.png?v=1787688767","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-wounds-of-the-passion-medal-and-links-set","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
