Love tokens were popular during the Victorian era. They were often exchanged between sweethearts as “tokens of love”. This practice seems to have originated in Great Britain in the early 1800’s and was most popular in the United States and in Canada shortly after the Civil War until early 1890’s. Love tokens are generally defined as coins on which one side (or sometimes both sides) has been smoothed down and engraved with names, phrases and or scenes, as well as symbols of romance such as hearts, birds, flowers and sets of initials in love knots.

Icons tell a visual story to the faithful and help the faithful pray and meditate. Small metal Icons have a 1000-year-old history and were often called “Traveler's Icon”. Devoted individuals, soldiers and others would take them into battle or on their travels for protection. Traditionally made of bronze / brass, they were wearable and small (2 x 2.5 in). The soft brass originals were submitted to the constant wear of devoted fingers, recording the history of heavy prayer on these sacramentals. Besides spiritual protection through prayer, the icon provided physical protection as well.

Religious medals with a crucifix, and their symbolic power, have been a galvanizing form for expressing one’s religious beliefs. The practice of wearing crosses, and religious medals with crosses, dates back to the early church. To modern Christians, the cross is an icon, a visual symbol of victory of Jesus over sin and death. It is incorporated into countless images and religious medals. Many Christians wear the cross as an indication of their commitment to the Christian faith and some Christians also believe that wearing a cross offers the wearer protection from evil.

The Black Madonna of Oropa was made of cedar from Lebanon and painted black. A shrine was built for the statue at a pre-Christian holy site to end local “pagan” practices. The statue of Our Lady became quite attached to this place. More than a thousand years later, a group of monks tried to move her to a new location, but she refused to go. She allowed herself to be moved half a mile but then became so heavy, no one could move her until it was decided to return her to her original site. In the 1600’s St. Anne appeared before a nun and told her it would be pleasing to Heaven if the statue was crowned. She was crowned every 100 yrs after that.
