Our Lady of the Poor of Banneux Rose-Shaped Medal – Blue Enamel – 6 mm

A tiny Banneux keepsake with distinctive charm

Some keepsakes fit in the palm of your hand; this one almost fits on a fingertip. Measuring only 6 mm, this blue enamel miniature medal of Our Lady of Banneux preserves a discreet connection with the Belgian sanctuary without the appearance of a large pendant.

Its rose shape and double-sided design immediately distinguish it from traditional oval medals. It becomes a sign of faith, a small Marian charm and a pilgrimage keepsake all at once.

Two sides with two complementary symbols

The front holds a miniature depiction of the Virgin of the Poor against a blue enamel background. Its outline follows the delicate, irregular shape of rose petals.

On the reverse, the Marian image gives way to a fully sculpted rose. The lightly antiqued silver-tone finish accentuates the recessed details and gives character to this Our Lady of Banneux flower pendant.

Its ring allows it to be added to a fine chain, charm bracelet or rosary with compatible links.

The Virgin of the Poor and the rose

In 1933, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to the young Mariette Beco in the Belgian village of Banneux. Under the title “Virgin of the Poor”, she shared a message of prayer, compassion and hope intended for all nations.

The rose traditionally evokes love, tenderness and devotion. Mary is also honoured in Christian tradition as the “Mystical Rose”. By combining Our Lady of Banneux with this flower, the medal expresses particularly poetic Marian symbolism.

A small and thoughtful gift

This souvenir medal from the Banneux sanctuary can be brought home from a pilgrimage, slipped inside a card or given to someone devoted to the Virgin of the Poor. It is also suitable for a baptism, First Communion, confirmation, birthday or prayer intention.
