Our Lady of Hostyn Saint Medal Gold

The Virgin Mary of Hostyn stands on the crescent with the baby Jesus in her arms. Baby Jesus is throwing lightning toward the ground. According to the legend recorded for us by Bohuslav Balbin, half a million Tatars invaded Moravian territory sometime around 1241. Thousands of Moravians were therefore fleeing from very vicious raiders to safety. Their refuge was to become the familiar hill of the Hostyn Hills. Here they prayed and pleaded with the Virgin for help and water. What happened gave St. Hostyn its name and is still remembered today. On the mountainside a spring of water burst from the ground, and a mighty storm of lightning scattered the Tartar encampment beneath the hill of the Hostyn. The image of the baby Jesus throwing lightning is a great rarity. We are glad to know the circumstances of its creation.
The Virgin Mary of Hostyn with Jesus holding a bunch of lightning bolts, is meant to protect and give courage in difficult situations and bring good luck.

As are other medals of ours, Our Lady of Hostyn is also handpainted with utmost precision. After painting, it is fired at 700 ° C, making the surface perfectly glossy and hard. On the other side is an ornamental black inscription in Latin, highlighted by the bright white background, “Ora pro nobis!” meaning “Pray for us!”. The Our Lady of Hostyn medal itself is decorated by its handcrafted 585/1000 gold frame with a hallmark. You will receive this pendant in a giftbox with a certificate of originality in eight languages, already included in the shown price.
