ANTIQUE VTG 1936 CONVENT MADE SCAPULAR REAL & PAPER LACE MEDAL & Blessing Inside:
$49.00

This beautiful piece is a "convent made" scapular that ticks all the boxes for a really special piece! It has a clear cellophane cover over the little picture of the Sacred Heart with a crown of thorns. This is usually the picture on the back which will say "Apostleship of Prayer In League With the Sacred Heart". It has a copyright date of 1936. It has a tatted edge (really difficult style of lace), and the piece is sewn very lightly to an oval paper lace that is so good, it looks real. I thought it felt padded, so I very lightly pulled on side away so I could see inside the back, and there is a tiny folded paper blessing, AND a little metal medal. I really really wanted to open one, but I have restrained myself. I have several, and they are way too special to damage. This one is really beautiful, and won't disappoint. I have a group of these, all that look like they came from the same place.
Scapulars are "blessings" often given out from monasteries and convents, as they can only be "blessed" by a Priest, Friar or Nun. A lay person can't do the scapular blessing. The are so special, and make wonderful First Communion gifts. I called this one convent made, but it could have come from a monastery as well.
