Vintage Bronze St. Rita Medal with Shrine Church
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze St. Rita Medal with Shrine Church shows a veiled woman crowned with a rayed halo, standing beneath a crucifix with her head inclined as the light falls on her brow. Roses and small fruit are gathered below her.
Both are the marks by which St. Rita of Cascia is known: the wound she carried on her forehead from a thorn of the crucifix she prayed before, and the roses and figs brought to her from her family's garden in the dead of her last winter. Married unhappily, widowed by violence and an Augustinian nun afterward, she is turned to in hard marriages and in situations that look closed for good. The reverse keeps a sunken roundel with the long church and tall spire of her shrine at Cascia, the view a pilgrim carries home.
This medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's 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
