 Dear Lady of Fatima,

We come on bended knee,

To beg Your intercession,

For peace and unity.

Dear Mary, won't You show us,

The right and shining way,

We pledge our love and offer You,

A Rosary each day.

You promised at Fatima,

Each time that You appeared,

To help us if we pray to You,

To banish war and fear.

Dear Lady, on First Saturdays,

We ask Your guiding hand,

For grace and guidance here on earth,

And protection for our land.

In honor of Our Lady of Fatima I created this bracelet using a stunning cameo of Our Lady of Fatima adorned with pink Czech. rhinestones fit for a Queen.

I wanted this cameo to be the main emphasis, therefore, I didn't add any other colors except pink and white to make the cameo stand out even more.

Catholic St. Dymphna Relic Saints Medals Religious Charm Lampwork Bracelet

Patronage for Nervous and Mental Afflictions

Dymphna was fourteen when her mother died. Damon is said to have been afflicted with a mental illness, brought on by his grief. He sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find some woman of noble birth, resembling his wife, who would be willing to marry him. When none could be found, his evil advisers told him to marry his own daughter. Dymphna fled from her castle together with St. Gerebran, her confessor and two other friends. Damon found them in Belgium. He gave orders that the priest's head be cut off. Then Damon tried to persuade his daughter to return to Ireland with him. When she refused, he drew his sword and struck off her head. She was then only fifteen years of age. Dymphna received the crown of martyrdom in defense of her purity about the year 620. She is the patron of those suffering from nervous and mental afflictions. Many miracles have taken place at her shrine, built on the spot where she was buried in Gheel, Belgium.

I created this unique bracelet honoring a great Saint, St. Dymphna using a 3rd class relic medal of the Saint.  Using as well other Catholic medals including St. Benedict, St. Anthony, Our Lady of Victory with Don Bosco, Archangel St. Raphael, Our Lady of Fatima, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Lazarus and St. George.

Adding to this bracelet very unique angel charms and a stunning large Bali-style flower to make the gorgeous wedding cake lampwork beads stand out.  The combination of beads and colors are very unique as well, yellow with purple one of my favorite combinations.

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.
