A beautiful vintage religious pendant dating to the 1900's. The silver-plated medal depicts an allegory of France: a crowned woman raising her arms, topped by the radiant sacred heart of Jesus with the city of Paray le Monial in the background (1900, La France appelle les Nations à party-Le-Monial / France calls the Nations to Paray-Le-Monial). The reverse features the apparition of Jesus Christ to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1675 (je règnerai malgré mes ennemis / I will reign despite my enemies). St. Margaret Mary Alacoque is the patron saint of devotees of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
