This is an antique "medaille" (religious medal) I obtained at a flea market in France. I will ship it after cleansing and healing. One-of-a-kind item. If you feel a connection, don't miss out! The front depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Motifs of the Holy Mother and Child are popular and have been produced in large numbers, but each one has different expressions, making them very interesting. The front of the medal reads "N.DAME DE GRACE HOMFLEUR," which refers to a chapel in Honfleur, a port town in Normandy, France. Due to its location, this is a very rare medal. It's unlikely you'll find one like this in Japan. The Mary depicted is wearing a veil and a crown, and her face has a certain strength. The infant Jesus also wears a crown, but his eyes are wide open, as if looking at you. The faces are less than a few millimeters in size, yet the expressions are so detailed that you can read them. The back depicts the infant Jesus and Saint Christopher. Christopher is carrying the infant Jesus on his back in a raging river, with a staff, and the infant Jesus holds the Earth (everything) in his hand. Christopher, who wanted to serve the strongest king in the world, carried the infant Jesus, the King of the world and the creator of this world, across the river. Christopher spread the gospel in Asia Minor, where he refused to worship the Roman gods and was imprisoned. It is also said that he converted a woman who tried to tempt him in prison. This medal can be used on both the front and back. Holy Mother and Child, Saint Christopher Areas of protection: Love for all people, forgiveness, protection, fulfillment of wishes, salvation, love, affection, intuition, family, travelers, drivers, tourists, vehicles, pilots, floods, epidemics, storms, journeys. He is a saint who also protects against epidemics. Wear the medal if you feel a connection with it through intuition. It is said that the medal is endorsed by the Virgin Mary, and anyone can receive blessings by wearing it around their neck, regardless of religion. For those who have worries, anxieties, or want to find happiness. Chain: 45 cm. Gold color As it is antique, there may be minor scratches. Please understand the nature of antiques.
