Antique medal of St. Therese of the Child Jesus in pink gold signed by the engraver Janet
Very pretty antique medal in 18 ct rose gold (750/1000th). Oval in shape, it represents Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, holding the cross of Jesus Christ in her arms. The back is unengraved. The medal is signed by the French engraver JANET, circa 1950.
Sainte Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus et de la Sainte Face was born in France in 1873. At the age of 15, she became a Carmelite nun in Lisieux, a bride of Christ as she herself put it, to save souls and pray for priests, until her death at the age of 24. Doctor of the Church and Patroness of the Missions, Thérèse offered herself totally to Merciful Love.
Possibility of adding a chain and/or having the medal engraved on the back on request.
