1" Mary Praying Medal - Antique Model ME1060

1" Mary Praying Medal (25 mm) – Exact Replica in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This graceful Mary Praying medal measures approximately 1 inch (25 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage medallion, available in sterling silver or gold bronze, preserving the original's delicate detail and devotional elegance.

The front of the medal depicts Our Lady standing in serene prayer, hands joined, with flowing robes and an aura of gentle reverence. She is framed within an ornate quatrefoil-shaped border, a motif frequently seen in Gothic Revival and Victorian devotional art. At the base, roses bloom beside her, symbolic of purity, love, and her title as the Mystical Rose. The inscription "AVE MARIA" is delicately engraved beneath her feet, inviting the faithful to join in prayer and contemplation.

The reverse of the medallion features a stylized "M" monogram topped by a royal crown and flanked by small, leafy branches, signifying Mary’s queenship and her role as Mediatrix of all graces. The design is openwork, allowing light to pass through and emphasizing the purity and refinement of its lines.

This Mary Praying medallion can be worn as a necklace pendant, attached to a rosary, incorporated into a bracelet charm, or used as a devotional keepsake. It is especially fitting for Marian consecrations, feast day celebrations, baptisms, confirmations, or simply as a beautiful daily reminder of Our Lady’s loving intercession.

Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary as an intercessor and model of faith has been a cornerstone of Christian life since the earliest centuries. Medals honoring her under various titles became especially widespread during the 19th century, accompanying the growth of Marian apparitions and the rise of widespread Catholic devotional practices.

Each Mary Praying medal is carefully cast to preserve the fine craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism of the original design, offering a timeless and meaningful addition to any religious collection or jewelry piece.
