Yellow Gold Filled Sacred Heart of Jesus Medal Necklace, 24" (19MM)

In 1664, Jesus appeared to Sister (now Saint) Margaret Mary Alocoque while she was praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament. He showed forth his heart; surrounded by thorns, glowing with flames and surmounted by a cross. Pointing to His heart, He said, ‘Behold this heart which has loved men so! ... ‘ The medal depicts this apparition. Devotion to the Sacred Heart takes Jesus Christ's physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity. The Sacred Heart is often depicted in Christian art as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross, and bleeding. Sometimes the image is shown shining within the bosom of Christ with his wounded hands pointing at the heart. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Jesus' death, while the fire represents the transformative power of divine love. The Feast of the Sacred Heart has been in the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar since 1856, and is celebrated 19 days after Pentecost, always a Friday.

It's fitting this is crafted of gold; It's 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. 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, quite simply, a great investment.
