We love this plastic crucifix because it reminds us of ones we had in the 1950s and 1960s. Made of modern plastic resin, it still looks old fashioned. The ornate cross is blue plastic and Jesus is ivory.
Each measures 1-3/8 inch long by 7/8 inch wide. The profile is less than 1/8 inch. The cross is flat-backed, making it easy to glue. Because it is made of resin, you will be able to drill a small hole in it to change it into a charm.

Reversible St Gerard Majella & Our Lady of Perpetual Help Medal

Mother's Day
Saint Gerard Majella was the son of a tailor in Italy. He was quite devout but suffered bad health and was not able to become a Capuchin monk as he wished. He later became a Redemptor monk and was falsely accused of impregnating a woman, who later recanted and repented. Because of this, Saint Gerard has become well known as the protector and patron of pregnancies, expectant mothers, childbirth and motherhood. He has also been known as a an antecedent for the falsely accused.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a treasured representation of the Blessed Virgin Mary that has been associated with a Byzantine icon or image of the same name. There is some controversy about the original date of the image - ranging from the 13th through the 15th centuries. The actual icon is in Rome and has been there since the late 1400s.
This is a highly recognizable image of the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus in her arms. Catholics have prayed to the Blessed Mother to intercede on their behalf, with her son, Jesus, for help. Perhaps the reason for the popularity of the image is Mary's gaze directly at the viewer, rather than down at her son, conveying her care for the world at large and individuals in particular.
This image is particularly special to us as it was our Grandmother's favorite. Although we never knew her, we have heard of her patience, kindness and open arms of love. And, this lovely medal features a very detailed image of Our Lady.
It measures 1 inch high (including the loop) by 1/2 inch wide. We're showing two medals so that you might see each side.

Gold Plated Stigmata Charm
More Medals, Amulets and Such
More Charms
It has been recorded that some very holy people, especially some of the Saints have the Stigmata. Stigmata are bodily marks or sores in the same areas as the wounds that were suffered by Jesus during his crucifixion.
This charm represents the hand of Jesus as it was nailed to the cross. It symbolizes many different things in different cultures, although they are all related. It is sometimes called the Lucky Hand. It has also been used as a medal attached to the Mano Poderosa (All Powerful Hand of God) amulet bag made by Curanderos and used in other Folk Religions in the same manner.
We are showing 2 charms so that you might see the front and back. The red enamel (representing blood) has been added by hand to the wound area of the hand and varies in size and shape.
Although the pain associated with Stigmata is intense, it is generally though of as a glorifying miracle. Many of the favorite Saints that are revered in the Christian tradition are blessed with the Stigmata including (there are many more):
Saint Francis of Assisi - (Padre) Saint Pio - Saint Clare Saint Gertrude - Saint Lucy - Saint Veronica
Each charm measures 1-1/8 inch from wrist to longest fingertip and 15/16 from thumb to little finger.

Reversible Sacred Heart and Infant of Prague Oxidized Medal
More Medals, Milagros, Amulets & Such
There are many stories that speak of the origins of the Infant of Prague. They all agree that the special statue given to the Carmelite order is a statue of the infant Jesus. Many carvings of such statues had been created throughout Europe over time.
The most likely history begins in 1628 when a small - about 19 inches tall - detailed, almost perfect statue of the Infant Jesus in wax was brought into Bohemia by a Spanish princess. She told them that, if they honored the statue, they would never be in need. The Carmelite novices voluntarily became poor and, as such, honored the statue of the Infant. When Emperor Ferdinand II (Hapsburg) heard of this, he arranged to send 2,000 Florins and a monthly stipend to support the order and their good works.
Once side of the medal features Jesus, the Infant of Prague, while the other side features the Sacred Heart surrounded by a crown of thorns. Our medal is made of silvery metal in Italy. Two medals are shown to illustrate front and back.

Hand Painted Antique Style Wooden Icon: Our Lady of Perpetual Help

More Milagros, Amulets & Icons
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of the many titles given to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A Byzantine icon named Our Lady of Perpetual Help was created sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries (there has been much controversy over the exact date). The original icon has been in Rome since at least the late 15th century, but is truly in the style of an Icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. She is known in the Orthodox iconography as the Theotokos of the Passion. Catholics have long revered this image as representative of the ability of Mary to intercede with their prayers to Jesus Christ, her son, pictured with her in the icon.
Included with te icon is a complete description of the image as well as a explanation of how icons, including this one are painted. The icon has been hand-painted in Greece with egg, tempura and gold leaf.
This icon arrives with a certificate of authenticity sealed onto the back of the wood. A stamp has been added as well as a wax seal from the artist. The certificate is in English, French, German and Spanish and reads:
This icon is hand made. It is a selected copy of an old Byzantine icon worked on canvas, old wood and set in a gold background.
This lovely icon was created to portray an antique style, which might include the creation of dents, use of rusted rings, dents in the icon itself, and a waxed overlay for protection. The results of these techniques should not be construed as a defect in the product, but rather a part of the design.

Made of heavy modern pewter in the traditional style, this striking heart milagro features two very important saints - one on either side.
Saint Anthony is depicted in his usual image, holding the baby Jesus. Saint Anthony is known as the patron who helps us find lost articles. But he has also been petitioned to assist lost souls to find their way again. In this way, his intercession with Jesus has been strengthened.
Saint George is often known for his bravery and protection against evil. He (as on this ex voto) is often pictured astride his horse and challenging a dragon (the devil).
Powerful representations such as these have helped make generation after generation of Catholics feel safer.
Each heart has been hand-made, so please allow for some variation. It measures (including the twisted rope-style hanging loop) 2-3/8 inches high by 2-1/8 inch wide.

Mini Sterling Silver Charm Featuring Our Lady of Carmel
More Medals & Milagros
This tiny little charm is the perfect addition to charm earrings, a nicho - particularly if made in our Nicho Necklace! The image of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Christ Child is strikingly clear in this little 3/8 inch diameter charm.
Our lady of Mount Carmel was the inspiration for the Carmelite Order and is quite nearly always associated with the brown scapular, worn by many devoted Catholics. Mount Carmel is in the Holy Land and this devotion to Mary, or the Blessed Mother, was conceived during chivalric times in devotion to Jesus and his mother (around the late 12th or early 13th century).
In the 14th century, Our Lady of Mount Carmel appeared to Saint Simon Stock, who was then the leader of the Carmelite Order. She presented him with the brown scapular which has defined the robes of the Carmelites since then.
Today, devotion to Mary in this image, with the baby Jesus is widespread.

We were so fortunate to find these lovely carded medals from the mid-20th century. We love how particularly important it once was to make things more special and beautiful with an extra touch such as these little cards.

The front features an ornate frame with two lovely angels at the top, too. How lovely to have some many protectors on one medal. The highly detailed charm is perfect for your shrine or ofrenda and especially for a child's memory box.
The card reads on the front:

Two charms are shown for illustration of the front and back.

Art Postcard - LA Mano Poderosa
More Postcards
The striking image on this wonderful post card finds its roots in the Roman Catholic traditions. In English, the image is known as the Powerful Hand, and in Spanish, as la Mano Poderosa. It will make the perfect background for a shrine or ofrenda.
The central image is the right hand of God with fingers and thumb stretched upright. The palm, with its stigmata, faces us.
Atop the four fingers are St Joachim and St Anne, the parents of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph and the Blessed Mother Mary herself.
Christ, as a child, is illustrated on the thumb. The most common representation of the Powerful Hand includes small winged cherub-heads (Putti) floating in the clouds above the hand. Four young female angels surround the hand (usual two on the left and two on the right). These angels are holding the tools of the crucifixion of Christ: One of the angels holds a bowl to capture Jesus' blood. The next holds a spear, a vinegar soaked-sponge, a hammer and nails. The third, uniquely gazing at the ground, holds the cross. And the fourth holds the notorious crown of thorns.
Most popular in Mexico, but celebrated in all the countries practicing the Roman Catholic Religion, the Mano Poderosa symbolizes the all-powerful nature of God, and is probably based in pagan symbolism as well - as they prophesized the coming of an omnipotent Christ.

Long represented together are Mary, the Blessed Mother of Jesus, and Jesus himself as a baby. This stunning version is based on a traditional Greek icon thought to be of the 15th century. There have been many other representations of the original icon, including this one, but the image of Mother and Child remain the same.
This is not a happy Jesus and Mary, but rather represents the sadness that is to come in the Child's life and, it is almost as though his Mother knows what is to be. The Christ Child looks to his Mother for comfort. This is evident in the manner in which the Child's entire body is facing Mary, not just the head. She, in return, caresses her Son, protecting him from his future.
This lovely pendant is made of bright silver metal and a stunningly colored resin image. The entire piece measures 1-3/4 inch high (including the bail) by 1-3/16 inch wide. The bail is large enough to accommodate a leather or ribbon as well as a chain.

Tiny Silvery Byzantine Crucifix
The Eastern Orthodox cross is also know as the Byzantine cross. There are many interpretations of the the shape of the cross. The standard cross or crucifix is the base for the design.
At the bottom is a slanted crossbar, often said to be the foot rest of Jesus on the cross and, when Jesus took his last breath, the nail slipped and the bar became slanted. Another interpretation tells us that the cross is slanted representing the repentant and unrepentant thieves who were crucified at the same time. The crossbar usually slants down from the viewer's left.
The set of double straight crossbars are said to represent the death and resurrection of Jesus. The longer, more common bar being death, the shorter bar, closer to heaven representing life.
This tiny cross measures 1 inch from hanging hole to bottom and 1/2 inch from side to side. A jump ring is included for your convenience.
The front of the crucifix shows Jesus traditionally. On the back, it reads,

Our Lady of Czestochowa Oxidized Silvery Medal
Originating in the 15 century, the Black Madonna is most often associated with the portrait found in Czestochowa, Poland. Some say that the extraordinary power of the Black Madonna is a strength that is not expressed in portraits of the lighter-skinned Mary, who is most often associated with purity and obedience. While the Madonna is still the Mother of Jesus, the diverse representations are not only images of her likeness, but symbolic of her spirit as well. Others suggest that there is a closer connection between the Czestochowa and the archetypal Earth Mother of many cultures, who intercedes for fertility and transcends both life and death.
This lovely modern pewter (silvery metal) medal is just about 1 inch long and 5/8 inch wide. On one sized is the likeness of Our Lady of Czestochowa holding the baby Jesus. The other side features the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
This medal is also lovely as an addition to your shrine or artwork, especially with an Eastern European theme!

Icon Style Holy Cards - The Secret of the Meal (Last Supper) - Package of 5
More Christmas
More Easter
The title, The Secret of the Meal refers to the mystical reality of the first institution of what has become to be known as the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper. Jesus Christ is the central figure in this icon and is the only one who is looking directly at us. Jesus holds his right hand, not straight up as in traditional blessing position, but up-turned and opened as to show how he is offering his very body and blood for food to save all people of good will.
There are 11 pyramid-shaped halves of bread in front of the apostles. The icon artist has also captured the obvious awe, wonder, and confusion that his followers exhibit when Jesus explains to them that it is truly his body to be eaten and his blood to be drunk - and all of this should be done in remembrance of him.
We think this a wonderful addition to an invitation to Christmas or Easter dinner.
The loaves are also a reminder of the meal that Christ shared when he multiplied the loaves and fishes - that the apostles know that they should share their new knowledge and faith.
These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper. The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend, or to inscribe an appropriate prayer

Silvery Medal featuring La Monserrat (Black Madonna)
The Virgin of Montserrat is a statue of the Virgin Mary and infant Christ venerated at the Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery in the Montserrat mountain in Catalonia, Spain. She is a black Madonna. And for that reason, she is often called La Moreneta ("The little dark-skinned one"). Legend has it that she was carved in Jerusalem in the very early days of the Catholic Church, but it is really from the late 12th century as it is carved in the Romanesque style. It is believed that the Benedictine monks built their monastery around the statue, rather than move it. It is surrounded by an alter of gold and many make pilgrimage to pay homage to La Monserrat.
The back of the medal reads:

Vintage Postcard - The Birth of Jesus Christ
This sweet and beautiful card dates from 1976 and was developed for the Church pastor to send to the congregants at Christmastide. The scripture selection is from the Good News Bible. Decorated with holly and ribbons, the postcard reads:
This was how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby by the Holy Spirit. Joseph was a man who always did what was right, but he did not want to disgrace Mary publicly; so he made plans to break the engagement privately. While he was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to make Mary to be your wife. For it is by the Holy Spirit that she was conceived. She will have a son, and you will name him Jesus - because he will save his people from their sins."
Now all of this happened in order to make come true what the Lord had said through the prophet, "A virgin will be come pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").
So when Joseph woke up, he married Mary, as the angel of the Lord had told him to. But he had no sexual relations with her before she gave birth to her son. And Joseph named him Jesus.
Matthew 1.81-25 (TEV)
The paper is lighter weight than the standard postcard, but it has a lovely sheen to it. On the back, it appears as a regular postcard, with the copyright information.

Mini Triptych Byzantine Icon with Mary & Angels
Icons are associated with the Byzantine rite churches. This lovely handmade triptych (three panel) wooden icon has been hand-carved on the back and individual icons have been découpaged to the front. The images feature Mary in the center with Archangels on either side.
The angel panels are attached by hinges allowing them to close up so that only the wood is seen from the outside. This style was originally created centuries ago for the persecuted who believed in the angels, saints, Mary and Jesus, to be able to hide their images from the persecutors.
The images are highlighted with metallic golden paper, and, in some cases, gold leaf. The entire piece measures 2 inches high by 3 wide inches when open. The hinges allow it to close for portability and for display. When closed, it measures 2 by 2 inches.
The images of Mary usually include Jesus, but a few feature Our Lady alone. Usually one of the angels is St Michael the Archangel, some feature Gabriel or Raphael.
Because these are handmade, each is different from the next, so please let us choose one for you.
