I have a BEAUTIFUL NOVENA MEDAL PENDANT up for bid this time. On the front half it shows Mary giving her grace and blessings while it says "O MARY CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN PRAY....ect.... and on the back it shows the cross, M, light of love, and carring the cross along with the 12 stars and the words Italy stamped on it. What a wonderfull way to remember that our mother is near you every day by wearing her medal to help protect you. ***If the amount goes over 200====>AS THE GIFT~~~ I AM INCLUDING A SMALL SONG HYMNAL & A IDENTIFICATION-EMERGENCY CARD FOR YOUR WALLET*** Good luck bidding.
This is what it is ok.... The Medal of the Immaculate Conception, popularly known as the Miraculous Medal. It was given by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself! Our Lady manifested the Medal to St. Catherine Laboure on November 27, 1830 in the motherhouse of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac, in Paris. Catherine saw Our Lady standing on a globe, with dazzling rays of light streaming from her outstretched hands. Framing the figure was an inscription: "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." Then Mary spoke to Catherine: "Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck."
The vision then seemed to turn to show the reverse of the Medal: the letter M surmounted by a cross with a bar at its base; below this monogram, the Sacred Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary pierced with a sword.
With approval of the Catholic Church, the first medals were made in 1832 and were distributed in Paris. Almost immediately the blessings that Mary had promised began to shower down on those who wore her medal, and soon all of France was clamoring for what the people referred to as the "Miraculous Medal." Use of the Medal spread from country to country and now blankets the world. Everywhere, the Medal is still drawing down from God blessings for body and soul.
*** The medal was also blessed and I think it was blessed in... the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's historic section of Germantown ***
They are very pretty. Alot of Catholics swear by them and so do Christians (which I happen to be). It helps with prayers and with reminders of the lighting of the candles and much more and of course the most important is of Mary. No matter who wears the medal... they are sure to be blessed God willing. May you and your family be blessed. @}--- <><
