“the most important religious event since the Reformation”

Today, August 22 is the day when people worldwide celebrate the Queenship of Mary. It comes 8 days after Her Assumption into Heaven. It marks the formal recognition of Her Queenship and the restoration of the
Divine Feminine.
The Feast of the Queenship of Heaven came in harmony (but not without controversy) with Pope Pius XII's acknowledgement and codification of Mary's role as Co-Redemptrix in 1954. It was a bold move for him to bring the role of the Divine Feminine front and center as he did. What's it all mean? All I know is that it's one of the Mysteries of Mary she often calls us to explore, when we choose to deeper our understanding of the Divine Cosmic Dance.
When Pius set August 22, as the Feast of the Queenship, he moved the Feast of Our Lady of Beauraing aka the Virgin of the Golden Heart aka the Notre Dame de Namur to November 29th. Today remains the celebration of the Pilgrimage of Notre Dame de Beauraing. These new designs honor Her and her many names.

Also known as Our Lady of Namur, the Madonna in the image is said to have made apparitions to 5 young children, a total of 33 times from November 29 1932 - January 3, 1933. She appeared once a day for just over a month in Beauraing, Belgium. In one of the apparitions she revealed Her Golden Heart to the children and told them she is always available to help bring Healing and Peace to the World.
The Virgin of the Golden Heart Bead Chain Drop necklace, features a beautiful art nouveau medallion with Our Lady of Beauraing - the Virgin with the Golden Heart. It's as light and ethereal as She is and designed to sit over your heart.
A new take on beloved favorites! Our Fleur de Lis Wraps are now available in our favorite bead chain. Light and airy and designed to blend easily and seamlessly with all your Whispering Cowgirl designs.
Saint Helena lived from 248 to 330 A.D. She was the mother of Emperor Constantine and she raised him alone for many years after being divorced for political reasons by his father. Hence she is known as the Patron Saint of difficult marriage and divorce, as well as new discoveries and pilgrimage. Constantine adorned his mother. She helped him rule and spent her life advocating for the poor and disadvantaged in her domain. However, she is most remembered for the last years of her life when she pilgrimaged to the the Holy Land in search of holy sites, sacred relics and the fulfillment of her soul calling and life mission.
It's believed that in the last two years of her life, Saint Helena toured the Holy Land and found the "True Cross", the Crown of Thorns, Christ's birthplace, the Steps of Pilate and many other holy relics. She is also attributed with bringing the painting of Our Lady of Czestochowa, (who we will meet next week) to Europe. In honor of Saint Helena and in celebration of Pilgrimage, I'm excited to introduce our new Pilgrim's Way Medallion. Featuring Saint Helena and Our Lady of Guadalupe, it's cast in Sterling Silver and 22KT Gold over Bronze from the 18th Century original in our
"Monk's Collection."

I didn't, but one of the blessings of my work is spending time researching vintage medallions and their ancient symbolism. Each medal is it's own unique work of art, with a story to tell that is often cloaked in mystery. Most of the original medals in our colletions date back about 100 years, some are as old as the 18th century. The names of some of the medal artists are known, while others have been lost to time, but the reverence they brought to their work in divine service lives on.
August is a month filled with Feast Days that highlight the life of the Divine Mother and several beloved Saints.
It is said, "That any human being needing comfort, vision, guidance or strength was heard by the Immaculate Heart ... and thus, Blessed Mother would immediately arrive with veils flying ... to place us under her mantle for protection, to give us that one thing the world longs for so: the warmth of the mother’s compassionate touch. -
This Immaculate Heart medal is known as the "Sainte Vierge" Medallion. Sainte Vierge means Blessed Mother and the Heart and Dagger represent the joy of loving with a wide open heart and the pain that often accompanies it. The inscription also references the Parisian Saint Vincent de Paul, the helper and agent of the poor who asked that we live with humble and charitable hearts in service to those in need.
As you peruse our collections, please keep in mind we can make our designs in any gemstone, length or metal color you choose such as (gold, silver, gunmetal and bronze). You can also request different medallions on most designs. Just note any changes at checkout or reach out with your request.

Our Notre Dame de Paris medal is delicate, but powerful. Recreated from a vintage French medal, it features "Notre Dame of Paris". Just behind her image you can faintly see the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral and the city beneath her feet. A symbol for rebirth through tragedy and faith during trials, this medallion can serve as a constant reminder that the hand of the Divine is working in your life and that the help of Notre Dame is a just an ask away.

The reverse side of the Saint George medal has a ship with a taut sail on a rough sea. Legend tells us that Christ is asleep on the deck, with two terrified apostles, as a fierce wind blows into the sail.
