#atelierLeda's Medallion Necklace Collection ✼••┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ "Mary, Untier of Knots"... This is a medallion necklace filled with the loving prayers of Mary, who gently unties all difficulties✧*。 † Mary, Untier of Knots † The graceful image of the Virgin Mary known as "Mary, Untier of Knots" is based on a Baroque painting displayed in the Church of St. Peter in Augsburg, Germany. In the early 17th century, a nobleman, Wolfgang Langenmantel, whose marriage was in trouble, asked a Jesuit priest to pray for him. At that time, a symbolic miracle occurred in which the "knotted white ribbon" of the couple was untied with the help of Mary, and this painting depicts that scene. Mary stands in the sky, lovingly untying a knotted ribbon she received from an angel. Her gaze seems to gently soothe the worries and sufferings that lurk in our lives. The painting became widely known thanks to the encounter with Jorge Mario Bergoglio (later Pope Francis), who was then a young priest in Argentina. In the 1970s, Father Bergoglio was touched by this painting during his studies in Germany and brought a reproduction back to Argentina. He spread devotion to "Mary, Untier of Knots," and in Buenos Aires, people lined up for Mary's Novena (9-day prayer). For worries, illnesses, family discord, work difficulties, tangled relationships, and all the "knots" of life, Mary gently unties them little by little... Believing this, many believers began to offer prayers. Even after Pope Francis was elected Pope, his deep trust in this Virgin Mary remained unchanged, and now "Mary, Untier of Knots" is a symbol of hope for overcoming difficulties all over the world. For those who are in the midst of difficulties, or for those who pray for loved ones... May you feel a sense of peace, as if the tangles in your heart are gently untied by Mary's warm guidance... ✼••┈┈┈••✼••┈┈••✼ 《Medallion》 Mary, Untier of Knots 20×15mm 《Cross》 Jesus Christ 10×12mm 《Size》 40cm + 5cm adjuster atelier †Leda†
