This Shroud Of Turin Pendant is a Real Biblical Replica of the Original Classic Vintage one known as The Holy Face Medal. On the First Friday in Lent 1936 Sister Maria Pierina reported a Vision of Christ in which Jesus appeared to her and said: “I will that My Face, which reflects the intimate pains of My Spirit, the suffering and the love of My Heart, be more honored. He who meditates upon Me, consoles Me”. Further reported Visions of Jesus and Mary urged Sister Maria Pierina to make a Medal with the Holy Face of Jesus. After some effort, she managed to Obtain Permission to reproduce the the Shroud of Turin and Authorization from the Catholic Church in Milan to proceed with the Medal in 1940. This Became Known as the Holy Face Medal. The First Medal of the Holy Face was offered to Pope Pius XII who approved the devotion and the Medal. She had also reported that Jesus wanted a Special Feast on the day before Ash Wednesday in Honor of His Holy Face, to be preceded by a Novena (9 days) of prayers. In 1958, Pope Pius XII Declared the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus as Shrove Tuesday (the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday) for all Roman Catholics.
The Shroud Pendant is part of our Exclusive: Ancient Biblical Replica Collection. This is an Exact Biblical Replica of the Famous Holy Face Medal. It was Created Directly from a Mold Made from a Real Relic.
Our Holy Face Medal is a Solid Metal Shroud of Turin Pendant with Chain. This is a very Unique Pendant as it is modeled after a Commemorative Pendant that we actually purchased on our recent trip to Turin to view the Real Shroud. We bought several of these Original Pendants there in the city and they are also available here on our Site. This Original Model is the only type that was Officially Authorized by the Pope himself to the local Nun in the early 20th century.
The Shroud Pendant is Silver in color, made out of a metal alloy material and has the Face of Christ Embossed out on the front with the saying: Illumina Domine Vellum Tulum Super Nos (Let your face shine upon us Lord), Etched around Christ's Head around the perimeter of the Piece. The Back has the Frontal Pose of Christ on the Shroud Indented into the Pendant with The words; Sancta Sindon, Qua Corpus Domini Noshs Jesu Christi Invvolutum Fuid (Holy Shroud - on the holy winding-sheet in which the body of Our Lord Jesus Christ was wrapped). The Pendant also comes with a matching Silver 28 inch Chain.
With the Shroud Pendant and Necklace you will also get a Free PDF Copy of our recently published 145 page Book: The Saga of the Shroud.
