This Divine Mercy / Mother and Child Medal is only 1/2 big and it's small size is perfect for bracelets, chaplets or anything you can think of. Intricately detailed in Italy, this is a high quality medal that is at a great deal. The Divine Mercy is a Catholic devotion focused on the mercy of God, particularly as a form of thanksgiving and entrustment to God. The Divine Mercy can be traced back to St. Faustina Kowalska a polish nun, and is based on the bible verse: Ask and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. In that anyone who seeks God's mercy shall not be turned away.
