For many, this blessed medal is worn to bring peace to the soul, protection for loved ones and a miracle to those who seek an intervention in hopeless times. The apparition was believed to have appeared numerous times in Mexico in 1531. She was quoted with these comforting words: "Let nothing frighten and afflict you or trouble your heart. Am I not here, I who am your mother?" Her iconic image offers much symbolism. By standing on the moon, she shows that she is more powerful than the god of darkness.  The stars indicate that she comes as the Queen of Heaven with the eyes of a humble and loving mother. Czech glass beads and gold plated brass.Lobster clasp. (Necklace available.)
