Vintage Original French Medal Pendant Gold Plated Chain Necklace
About the Item
Vintage Original Marquis shaped Medal Pendant
The medal has the phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" in French and translates to "I am the Immaculate Conception". The term "Immaculate Conception" refers to a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, which holds that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This is a unique privilege granted to Mary, as all other human beings, according to Christian doctrine, are conceived with original sin as a result of the Fall of Man.
This medal could serve as a symbol of faith, a tool for prayer, or a reminder of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.
The phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" is reportedly what Mary said to Bernadette Soubirous during the apparitions at Lourdes, France, in 1858. Therefore, such a medal may also have a particular connection to the Marian devotion associated with Lourdes.
On the other side of the medal it has the date 8th of December 1933 engraved which is a significant date in Catholic tradition as it is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day that celebrates the doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin.
The year 1933 marked the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX, which was on December 8, 1854. A medal bearing this date could have been created to commemorate this significant milestone.
It also says "S. Bernadette PPN Navars" which likely refers to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Bernadette was a young girl who lived in the town of Lourdes in the region of Navarre (Navars in French), France. The initials PPN are likely an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "postulant pro nobis," which translates to "pray for us" in English.
This phrase is often found on religious medals and other devotional items and is a request for the saint depicted (in this case, Saint Bernadette) to intercede with God on the wearer's behalf
Wearing religious medals adds a layer of spirituality to everyday life. These symbolic pieces serve as reminders of core values and spiritual journeys.
The selection of a particular medal involves self-reflection and represents personal spiritual needs or virtues to cultivate. This decision in itself is an act of spiritual growth and personal understanding.
Religious medals provide a physical link to spirituality, offering moments of contemplation and grounding amidst the hustle of life.
Through these medals, a sense of unity and interconnectedness emerges, symbolizing our place in the universe. This understanding can offer comfort, strength, and a sense of belonging.
In essence, religious medals are more than tokens of faith. They enhance spiritual growth, encourage mindfulness, and reinforce a sense of belonging in the larger cosmos.
