The Miraculous Medal · Paris, 1830
Eight marks on the Miraculous Medal. Every one was in the vision.
Our Lady showed Catherine Labouré exactly what to strike — then told her to change nothing.
The front of the Miraculous Medal
Rays from her hands
Graces poured out on all who ask with trust.
Mary upon the serpent
Her obedience to God, crushing evil underfoot.
The globe beneath her feet
Her queenship over Heaven and earth.
The encircling prayer
The very words that rose in gold around her.
"O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."
Struck around the rim of every Miraculous Medal
The back of the Miraculous Medal
The Cross and the "M"
Mary bound inseparably to her Son's saving Cross.
The two Hearts
The Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The flame of love
The burning love of both Hearts for every soul.
The twelve stars
The Apostles, and the whole Church gathered around its Mother.
In the box
A printed card explaining all eight.
How our Miraculous Medal was made
We spent months getting every mark right.
Most Miraculous Medals sold today quietly simplify it — a flattened face, a shortened prayer, stars that don't come to twelve. Ours was drawn from scratch against the 1830 design and re-cut until nothing was missing.
She was told to change nothing. So we changed nothing.
