Small Souvenir Spoon - Our Lady of the Poor of Banneux - Cross

This small silver-plated souvenir spoon from the Shrine of Banneux is a delicate devotional item commemorating one of Belgium’s most famous Marian pilgrimage sites. It depicts Our Lady of the Poor of Banneux, who appeared to the young Mariette Beco. Following these miraculous Marian apparitions, a chapel was built and the town renamed Banneux-Notre-Dame. The Virgin of the Poor came to bring a message of hope and to point out a spring reputed to be miraculous, healing many sick or injured pilgrims.

The top of the spoon features a delicate depiction of the Virgin Mary standing atop a cross, while the handle is decorated with elegant intertwined scrolls ending above a star.

A vintage collector’s item and religious souvenir, this spoon serves as a beautiful testament of faith for pilgrims who have visited Banneux or for anyone devoted to Marian devotion. It can be kept as a pilgrimage souvenir, placed in a prayer corner, or given as a spiritual gift to a loved one.
