Our Lady of Lourdes Medal

The Blessed Mother appeared to St Bernadette Soubiroux in 1858, shortly after the Church defined the dogma that Mary was conceived in her mother's womb without original sin. She told Bernadette "I am the Immaculate Conception," which meant nothing to our dear saint as she was 15 and very poorly educated. But God uses the small and weak to confound the proud and strong. Miraculous healing waters were provided by Mary at Lourdes and are still flowing today. This charm is a detail of a painting Sue did with acrylics and colored pencils; the image is included here just to give more context. A print of this image is available elsewhere in the shop. Same image on both sides. A print of this image is available elsewhere in the shop. All of our pendants are made with lead free solder and glass. Available with or without the beautiful silver plated snake chain of your choice. We offer a ball chain for elsewhere in my shop. If you put the charm/medal on a key chain, it may get broken if not treated kindly. It is glass. If you want one for a key chain, We can custom make your medium charm/medal with a thicker glass for $2. Small charm/medals don't need thicker glass, but either way, they need to be on a chain before you add them to your key ring. Jewelry orders are sent gift wrapped as shown, and Sue will include a holy card of her drawing of Pope Francis!
