Product Details
The Small Heart Scapular medal is a heart in miniature, carrying Christ half-length within it, haloed with rays, his hand raised to the Sacred Heart burning on his breast. The relief is cut deep, so the image reads clearly even at a scale small enough to close inside a fist.
Medals of this shape belong to the scapular tradition. In 1910 St. Pius X allowed the faithful to wear a small blessed medal in place of the cloth scapular, and the pattern that followed carried the Sacred Heart on one face and Our Lady on the other, so that both devotions were kept together against the wearer. That is the pairing this piece reproduces, and the heart shape makes the point before a word is read. It was made to be felt through cloth rather than looked at, the kind of thing a person touches without thinking during a long day.
The Small Heart Scapular 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Arrives in a CatholicShop gift box
The bracelet is a handmade rolo chain in gold-finished brass with a lobster clasp, 8 inches long, with 6 mm oval links. Fasten the clasp to any link along the chain to shorten it, so one size genuinely fits. The charm hangs from a split ring.
Charm size: 1/2 inches tall
The charm on its own
