{"product_id":"vintage-yellow-bronze-small-heart-scapular-medal","title":"Vintage Yellow Bronze Small Heart Scapular Medal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedals 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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":48943403892921,"sku":"3c3-949-YB","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-949-YB.png?v=1787688703","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-yellow-bronze-small-heart-scapular-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
