Notre Dame Souvenir Virgin medal

A collector's medal representing the iconic figure of our beautiful cathedral: Notre-Dame, also known as the Virgin with Child or the Virgin of the Pillar. This medal also features the famous rose window. It is a collectible piece that strongly symbolizes the aura of the Notre-Dame statue. This classic representation of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus is often associated with symbols of piety and protection.

Acquiring this souvenir medal of the Virgin Mary is a way to remember her great return to the cathedral. Just before the reopening of the Cathedral (on December 8, 2024), the Notre-Dame statue, which miraculously survived the 2019 fire, returned to her place on November 15, 2024. This collectible piece takes on even more significance: The Virgin of the Pillar stood tall among the rubble; it is the "stabat mater." This Latin term means "The Mother Standing," evoking the suffering of Mary at the foot of the cross, where she witnessed the crucifixion of her son. This posture of Mary, standing in the face of suffering, symbolizes her strength, faith, and fidelity.

This medal is handcrafted in France, and will enrich your collection of souvenir medals.
