Under an arcade, beside a seven-branched lampstand and an altar set with an open book, a bearded figure holds the Child while a haloed woman kneels at the centre and a third figure waits at the right with a basket. It is the Presentation in the Temple, and for a piece three-quarters of an inch across the detail is remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat scene is the First Sorrow of Mary. It was in the Temple that Simeon took the Child in his arms and told his mother a sword would pierce her own soul also, and the other face of this center shows what he foretold: the Virgin veiled and haloed with the swords already driven into her heart, lettered \u003cstrong\u003eMATER DOLOROSA\u003c\/strong\u003e, Mother of Sorrows, around the rim. Prophecy on one side and fulfilment on the other make it a center to pray with rather than simply to look at. The surface is left rustic, the relief soft and unpolished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe First Sorrow 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":48943549907129,"sku":"3c3-1488CA-S","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1488CA-S.png?v=1787688751","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-sterling-silver-first-sorrow-rosary-center-presentation","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
