These
are rare replicas of antique religious pieces, cast by hand in bronze or
sterling silver!
Many
wonderful religious medals and artifacts are fast disappearing into private
collections, never to be seen again. Fortunately, we have been able to find
help in bringing these antique pieces back.
Because
of the great value of antiquity, each antique medal is cast "as is"...many
you find are wonderfully mellowed by wear and history.
**Please
note that the pictures are larger than the actual size of the medal. See
description for the actual size.
Sterling
silver and other metal prices have fluctuated over time and continue to
rise. Please, note that prices may rise in the future. Each antique replica
will come with a free relic card as our gift.
ST. MICHAEL MEDAL
ANTIQUE
MEDAL FROM 1830
ST.
MICHAEL PROTECTS AND HEALS!
It was St. Michael who caused a medicinal spring to spout at Chairotopa
near Colossae, where all the sick who bathed there, invoking the Blessed
Trinity and St. Michael, were cured.
Not only has he been known to help heal the sick, he is the field commander
of the Army of God! He is mentioned by name in the Book of Daniel, the Book
of Jude and the Book of Revelation, in which he leads God's armies against
Satan's forces!
In addition to fighting against satan, he rescues the souls of the faithful
from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death (one of the
four offices of St. Michael).
In Hebrew, Michael means "who is like God" . This antique recast
medal we offer is just as special as St. Michael's name. It is recast from
an antique medal over 175 years old!
The picture does not show how intricate the design is. I fell in love with
it when I was able to finally hold one in my hand. The Blessed Mother is
on back. They don't make medal's like this anymore!
We are thrilled to be able to offer this very unique bronze medal which
is approx. 1" (shown larger for detail..we do not have silver at the
moment).

HISTORY BEHIND
THIS SPECIAL CARAVACA CROSS:
This is "The Cross of Miracles" according to many!
In the year 1232,
a miracle occurred in the Spanish town of Caravaca de la Cruz. A missionary
priest named Don Gínes Pérez Chirinos de Cuenca was captured
and taken before the Muslim king who was curious about "the Mass".
He wanted him to demonstrate the procedure. He refused at first, but finally
agreed. The king arranged for the necessary items: an altar draped with
a pall cloth, bread and wine, and some candles. However, a crucifix was
missing.
The
priest explained that the presence of a crucifix was critical to the Mass
and he could not 
continue
without one.
No
sooner had he spoken these words than the chamber was flooded brilliant
light and two angels appeared, bearing a 2-armed cross, the Vera Cruz
of Caravaca, containing wood from the true cross of Jesus Christ!
News
of this Miraculous Crucifix spread and it gained a reputation as a powerful
protector and healer in the centuries to come.
The
miracles didn't stop there: Eventually,
the town passed to the Knights Templar who, in the 15th century, built
the castle that still dominates the town today. At one time, the Knights
Templar and townsfolk were under siege by the Muslim army and took refuge
in the castle. It wasn't long before the water stored in the castle became
unpotable and several of the refugees became ill. Scouts crept out of
the castle at night to look for water but found the neighbouring wells
had been poisoned. In desperation, the scouts raced out of the castle
on horses to find a safe source of water. They found some wine, loaded
the wineskins on their horses and raced back to the castle.
The wine was
blessed in the presence the Caravaca Cross and served to those who had
been debilitated by the bad water. They recovered immediately and the
blessed wine was mixed with the toxic water in the storage tanks. The
water became fresh and as a result, the Christians were able to resist
the enemy!
Today, an annual fiesta
is held in the town to remember those events, which includes a ceremony
to bless the irrigation water used by Caravaca farmers.
Because of these miracles
and the relic of the True Cross, in 1998 Caravaca de la Cruz became the
fifth holy town celebrating the Perpetual Jubilee in the Vera Cruz Sanctuary
where the Caravaca Cross is kept.
Also of Note: Franciscan
monks travelled to the Americas, taking copies of the Caravaca cross with
them. This cross is also used by archbishops and patriarchs. This crucifix
is still popular in Central and South American churches and monasteries.
Houses and business hang this Caravaca Cross on the wall(s). You may also
choose to wear it.

ARCHANGEL
RAPHAEL "Preserve Us " MEDAL
This particular piece is recast by hand from an old antique
medal.
On the
front is the Archangel Raphael and on the back is a special prayer which
reads,
"St. Raphael, Preserve us from ill health and all danger to life."
The
Archangel Raphael is POWERFUL. In fact his name means "Medicine of
God" in Hebrew!
Why is
the Archangel Raphael so powerful?
---He is also one of the seven Archangels that stand before the very throne
of God chanting hymns of unending praise.
---It is said that when we pray for his help, he directly intercedes for
us to God the Father.
---In the Old Testament, he healed Tobit of blindness, protected him on
his travels and delivered Sarah from an evil demon!
---He
is the healing and deliverance Archangel!
They
simply do not make medal's like this anymore! We are thrilled to be able
to offer this very unique bronze medal which is approx. 1".

MARY
AND THE BELOVED DISCIPLE AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER
MEDAL
Just
like our faith, The Blessed Mother's faith was tested too. She was put to
the hardest test of all.
Standing
by the foot of the Cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister,
Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother
and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother: 'Woman, behold
your son.' Then he said to his disciple, 'Behold your mother.' And from
that hour the disciple took her into his home" (Jn 19:25).
The same
faith that Mary had at the birth of Her Son was the one she had at the Cross.
Let this medal remind us of the importance of faith!
This
solid sterling silver medal is 1 1/4" long.

SCAPULAR/SACRED
HEART MEDAL from 1890.
This is our
most popular antique medal and we don't have a large inventory

that this medal was saved for us all to enjoy! This particular medal is
recast from the year 1890.
The Latin text on the
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel side translates to "Mary the Splendor of Carmel"
while the Sacred Heart side reads "Behold the very heart burning with
such love for men". (thank you to my friend Alice for this!)
