In a pleasant valley of France there lies a little city where by the favor of God lightning never falls. This favor, unique in the world, dates back to the time when the church of Murat (Cantal) was burned by lightning except for a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary. In 1493, and ever since, the town has been named Our Lady of Olives. The Virgin Mary is the Olive recalled in the scriptures (Sirach 24:14). By virtue of the Medallion of Our Lady of Olives, the persons who carry it are preserved from lightning wherever they may be during a storm. It is a privilege attached to the medallion which bears the unique name in the annals of the church, "Our Lady of Olives." This marvelous way of being protected against lightning deserves to be known throughout the world and ought to be extended to the four corners of the universe. The second privilege of the Medallion is to protect, in an unmistakable manner, women who are about to become mothers and to assist them in the hour of deliverance. Those who are afflicted with sickness and who pray to the Divine Mother, are promptly relieved. The Virgin was crowned June 18, 1881, by an apostolic brief given by Leo XIII on the tenth day of May 1878. ~http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/questions/yq2/yq256.html
Catholic Bling is described as trendy and traditional - what better way to prove it than with our painted saints collection! Our simple saint medal seems to be transformed by color when we hand-paint the details with vibrant colors. The black beads are quite dark in the pictures of this bracelet. Look for them to age gracefully with a lovely patina - an effect that makes something look...vintage.

Custom Tab
block identifier: ft001_custom_tab is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
