Prayer Medal Chain Necklace French Vintage J Dauphin

About the Item

Prayer Medal Chain Necklace The Medal is a French Antique Vintage 1909 and seem to be silver plated. The Chain is gold filled Length: 16 " (41 cm) On one side of the medal "Vaucouleurs Porte de France" appears and we can see, it signifies an emblem of historical and patriotic pride, honoring a key site in French history. The inscription commemorates the town of Vaucouleurs, specifically referencing the Porte de France—the gate through which Joan of Arc departed in 1429 to meet the Dauphin of France, marking the start of her pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War. This medal could be issued to celebrate French heritage, recognize individuals for contributions to preserving French history, or commemorate events related to Joan of Arc's legacy. It symbolizes the courage and determination that Joan of Arc represents in French national identity. On the medal itself we can also see the gate itself. On the other side of the medal we can see the Imagery of: Joan of Arc Praying at an Altar which symbolically represents her deep spirituality and her reliance on divine guidance throughout her mission. Joan of Arc, known for her devout Catholic faith, often sought solace and strength in prayer. This scene of her at an altar underscores her connection to the divine, which she believed empowered her and legitimized her cause during the Hundred Years' War. Such imagery on a medal emphasizes her role as a holy figure and serves as an inspiration for faith and prayerfulness. The Text i possibly saying: "Jeanne d'Arc priant N.D de vous gardez" However the last word can not be clearly read.still can be understood as "Jeanne d'Arc priant N.D de vous gardez" (assuming 'gardez' as the intended word), translates to "Joan of Arc praying to Our Lady to keep you." This phrase connects directly with the imagery: "Jeanne d'Arc priant" (Joan of Arc praying): This part of the inscription directly describes what the image on the medal depicts—Joan in prayer. "N.D" (Notre Dame, or Our Lady): Refers to the Virgin Mary, a central figure in Catholic devotion, whom Joan of Arc particularly revered and often prayed to for guidance and protection. "de vous gardez" (to keep you): This phrase implies a prayer for protection, asking the Virgin Mary to safeguard the wearer of the medal. Combined Meaning The combination of this text with the image of Joan praying at an altar is profound. It suggests that just as Joan sought divine protection and intervention through her prayers, she now intercedes on behalf of the medal’s wearer. The medal thus serves as a spiritual token, meant to offer protection and blessings to its bearer, drawing on the sanctity and heroic faith of Joan of Arc. This depiction and text together reinforce Joan's enduring legacy as a protective figure and spiritual guide, echoing her historical role as both a warrior and a deeply religious individual.
