Sacred Heart Medals



The newest additions to my Sacred Heart medals collection. Both are absolutely stunning French antiques.

The larger one is a Sacred Immaculate Heart of Mary. Around the edge are French words, "Mere De Misericorde Prier Pour Nous," which translates to, "Mother of Mercy Pray For Us."

The smaller one is a French flaming heart ex voto. I believe this piece represented hope, faith and charity at one time, but the anchor is missing.

AVE MARIA FLAMING SACRED HEART MEDAL



I was very fortunate to find this rare Ave Maria medal in high relief.

Ave Maria holds a Flaming Sacred Heart pierced by a sword ,which I believe, symbolizes her pain of the crucifixion. The heart radiates heavenly grace.

I've never seen a medal solely dedicated to Ave Maria as this one or one as detailed.

It is incredible!
