 After a long time not posting or keeping up with my blog, I am excited to restart my posting, I will be posting more prayers as well as my creations.

It has been a roller-coaster ride these past years and hope and pray all are safe and healthy with the scare of 2020.

After a long break from posting I am excited to share my newest designs on my bracelets.  

This week I was inspired once again to begin creating my original designs of bracelets after designing Shabby and Victorian I went back to my original designs and new stackable bracelets easy to wear to express your faith and devotion

These are just a couple of my new creations

This is a bracelet honoring Our Beloved Holy Child of Atocha.  I used a beautiful and unique copy of an antique picture.  What I love is so different from the one we know in a blue dress, I love this one as well.

The heart is handmade by me using a large glass lampwork heart bead and embellishing it.

Before uploading a picture to my shop, I test several backgrounds that will enhance the piece of jewelry and on this picture I tested it on a velvet background and I was amazed to see all the light orbs around this specific bracelet

This is a St Philomena 3rd class Relic medal

On this bracelet honoring Our Blessed Mother Immaculate Heart, I used a beautiful black and white image and used Ebony beads as well as vintage antique rose color glass pearls

Holy Child of Atocha Religious Medals Charm Bracelet

History of El Santo Nino de Atocha (The Holy Child of Atocha)

The devotion to El Santo Nino de Atocha originated in Spain. Its origin may be related to Our Lady of Atocha, in Madrid, Spain, who is mentioned in the "Cantigas" of King Alphonse the Wise in the 13th century. During medieval times, the Moors held large areas and battles between the Christians and Moors were commonplace. The Moors invaded the town of Atocha. Following a certain battle, the victorious Moors held a great many Christians captive, and prevented the adult villagers from visiting as well as bringing the prisoners food or water. Fearing for the lives of the prisoners, their families stormed heaven with prayers for relief. One day, a child appeared, dressed as a pilgrim of that period, carrying a basket of food and a gourd of water. The Moors allowed the child to bring food and water each day. The prisoners were fed, but the basket and gourd remained full. The child was not known to the Christians nor to the Moors, so the people concluded that the child Jesus.

In artwork, the Holy Child often wears a brimmed hat with a plume and a cloak or cape ornate with the St. James shell. (During the Crusades, scallop shells were the symbol of holy pilgrimages and one European variety is still referred to as "the pilgrim" or "St. James' shell." Poets have written about their beauty and artists have admired their symmetry and grace.) In his left hand, He carries a pilgrim's staff to the gourd of water is fastened, a pair of shackles, and a few spears of wheat. In his right hand, He holds a basket which generally contains bread or flowers. He either wears sandals or is barefoot. The Child is said to roam the hills and valleys, particularly at night, bringing aid and comfort to the needy, and thereby wearing out his shoes. He is usually shown seated.

The original statue of the Holy Child of Atocha was imported from Spain and now resides in the little town of Fresnillo, Mexico. El Santo Nino de Atocha is the patron saint of those unjustly imprisoned. He also protects travelers and rescues people in danger.

I just love this medal with the image of The Holy Child of Atocha, is so beautiful and unique.  It just brings me comfort.

This bracelet makes honor to the Holy Child of Atocha using other Catholic medals as well including Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Therese, Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos, Archanagel St. Gabriel, Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Benedict, St. Michael and St. Anthony.

I used beautiful handcrafted Peruvian beads and handcrafted as well vintage black clay bird beads making it very unique.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Child Jesus as Holy Child of Atocha. I grew up with this image of Child Jesus and I used to love just watching it and it brought me comfort.

This bracelet I created in His honor using His image and setting the medal on a stunning ornate setting.

I used teal wedding lampwork beads to compliment the medals.

Catholic medals I used are St. Benedict, Miraculous Medal, St. Michael, St. Theresa, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Padre Pio, St. Martha and Mary Magdalene.

I always feel so blessed when I find unique Catholic medals, specially when they are vintage and are hard to find, and at times I think they find me. This is one of those cases. I was blessed to have found a vintage medal of Holy Child of Atocha, Made in West Germany, set in Mother of Pearl, such beautiful medal. I also added other Catholic medals as Divine Mercy, Miraculous Medal, St. Anthony, St. Sebastian, Virgin Mary, Sorrowful Mother. I surrounded these Catholic medals with glass lampwork beads, Czech. glass, glass golden pearls to enhance the beauty of these medals.
