This mixed combo is lovely for the detailed edging on each medal. The silver tone Chartres medal has a sweet scalloped edge, and the gold tone Odile medal features a simple dotted frame. Each medal is about 13 mm, a bit smaller than a dime.
Front:
Enthroned Virgin and Child with inscription: “Notre Dame de Chartres”
Chartres cathedral is one of the most famous examples of gothic architecture and also remains a major pilgrimage site in western europe.
Back:
Image of the Virgin holding infant Christ on top of a pillar. This is a reference to the Notre-Dame du Pilier, a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary and Christ that was carved in 1500 and located inside Chartres cathedral.
Front:
Image of St. Odile with staff and book
St. Odile is the patron saint of the Alsace region as well as anyone with eyesight problems.
She was born blind, but when she was 12 years old, her sight miraculously returned when she was baptised. She was then renamed “Odile”, meaning “child of light”.
