Vintage Bronze First Communion Medal with Dove and Lamb
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze First Communion Medal carries a scene on one face and the emblems of the sacrament on the other. The figural side shows a priest giving Communion to a kneeling child at the rail. The other face gathers the signs: the dove of the Holy Spirit above, a radiant host at the center, wheat at the left and a vine heavy with grapes at the right, and a lamb lying quietly at the foot.
Wheat and vine are the bread and wine before they are ever brought to the altar; the lamb is Christ himself, the Lamb of God received in them; the dove is the Spirit who makes the exchange. Medals like this one were given on the morning of a first Communion and kept for a lifetime afterward, resurfacing at a confirmation, a wedding, or in the back of a drawer sixty years later. The relief is worn soft on the antique original, and this casting keeps that softness.
The First Communion medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
