Trésor Bleu Exclusive

Medal origin:   Basilica Lisieux, France, c. 1949

This beautiful Art Deco medal is a Catholic Pilgrimage medal from Lisieux, France.  St. Thérèse of Lisieux, known as the "Little Flower," is one of the most venerated saints in the world and is a Doctor of of the Church.  She was known for advocating "Doing small things with great love," a philosophy that St. Teresa of Calcutta (aka Mother Teresa) adopted when she took her name.  .6 inches wide, .7 inches tall.  Silver chain, 18", 1.3mm, rhodium coating to resist tarnishing.

Trésors blue are tiny pieces of French art and devotion.  Also known as "Médailles De Pelerinage" or "Medals of Pilgrimage," these little medals have had voyages from another generation, another life, another country.  The deep "ultramarine" blue is the sacred color of Mary, representing truth, hope, and faith since 200 AD.  People of faith still undertake pilgrimages as a way of deepening their religious devotion, seeking miracles, spiritual healing, forgiveness, or for the journey itself.  The experience is not solely about reaching the end, it is about what is endured, enjoyed, and learned along the way.

All Trésors are specially pre-packaged for gifting.
