Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary as patroness of the Carmelite Order. The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid-13th centuries. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is also the patron saint of Chile. The city of Palmi commemorates the "miracle of Our Lady of Mount Carmel" each year on November 16 with firecrackers, lights and festive stalls. This celebration dates back to 1894 when citizens reported eye movements and color changes on the face of a statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. In the evening of November 16, the faithful improvised a procession and carried the statue through the streets. When the procession reached the end of the city, a violent earthquake shook Palmi, ruining most of the houses along the way of the procession.
It is fitting this special piece is crafted of gold; it is said spiritual energy and power are activated and awakened by wearing or praying with gold. Gold represents the spiritual treasure gained by transforming the spirit; gold also represents love in the Bible. Optimistic and positive, gold adds richness and warmth to everything with which it is associated. It illuminates and enhances. Gold represents perfection in all things. This is 'earth friendly' as it is made with the Refined Karats system certified by Scientific Certification Systems' (SCS) strict requirements. Proudly made in America with a green process of ethically, environmentally and socially responsible production processes of water, waste and energy management; the gold is from 100 percent recycled Karats.
The rising price of gold makes this a great investment.
