Vintage French Silver Medals

Front—

A vintage medal showing the Sacred heart of Christ.

Back—

“Voici ce Coeur Qui A Tant Aime Les Hommes” (Trans: “This is the Heart that loves all Men (people)”)

The Sacred Heart of Christ: Christ standing on clouds, and blessing a worshipper reminds the wearer that every individual is worthy of love. The sentiment is especially meaningful, as we interpret it as our wish for universal love that extends to the POC and the LGBTQiA. community.

Front —

Woman showing cradling an infant and seated on a low wall. Shown in the background is the basilica of Notre Dame de la Daurade in Toulouse, France.

Back —

Pictured is the shrine of the Black Madonna with worshippers. Inscription around image: “Dame La Noire Priez Pour Nous. Daurade Toulouse” (Trans: “Our Black Lady, Pray for Us”).

The basilica of Notre-Dame de la Daurade in Toulouse, France houses the shrine of one of Europe’s Black Madonnas, who bears no difference to the standard, Anglo-European depictions of Mary. We like to think that images of the Black Madonna speak to the power of Universal Love that is non-discriminatory of race, color, religion.
