MIRACULOUS VIRGIN MEDAL WITH NECKLACE

Miraculous Madonna or Madonna of the Miraculous Medal. Tradition has it that she was coined by order of the Madonna herself, who appeared to Santa Caterina La Bourè, a novice in the convent of the Daughters of Charity of San Vincenzo de Paoli, in Paris in 1830.

The medal depicts the Madonna with open arms stretched forward, with the rays starting from the palms of her hands, symbolizing The Graces, the inscription around "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us, who have recourse to you", on the back 12 stars that want to symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 Apostles, a heart represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus and one pierced by a sword is the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the cross symbolizes the trial, the sacrifice on Calvary.

The image of the Miraculous Madonna is depicted with a white dress and a blue mantle, hands stretched forward, under her feet she has the snake, a symbol of evil in the world, that is, the devil defeated by Jesus.
