At the center, the three-way junction medal features an image of the spring at Lourdes, with the Virgin Mary finely engraved on the reverse, uniting depictions of Christ upon the crucifix and Our Lady within a single rosary. Suspended alongside the centerpiece is a medal commemorating Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), the renowned German pilgrimage church. In Catholic pilgrim tradition, devotees frequently embellished their personal rosaries with souvenir medals acquired at sacred sites; this medal was likely added by the original owner on a pilgrimage from France to Germany. The reverse of the Cologne medal portrays the Holy Trinity—God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether styled with casual attire, paired with gothic-inspired fashion, or curated among historical religious objects, this devotional piece offers enduring elegance and historical depth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art\u0026Antiques LECURIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033808085110,"sku":"LEC027","price":27500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/6508\/8630\/files\/S__212467720_0_c8bb8bf5-136e-4857-80b2-547a6876e4dc.webp?v=1792148363","url":"https:\/\/dig-arts.com\/en\/products\/antique-french-wood-bead-rosary-with-lourdes-cologne-medals-1920s-france","provider":"Dig Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
