Mother Mary Bronze Religious Medallion

Well, “REGINA LABE CONCEPTA ORA PRO NOBIS” translates to “Conceived QUEEN FOR US” and “SUB TUO NOMINE ET PROTECTIONE LAETAMUR” translates to “Under your name and protection” which makes a lot of sense for a Mother Mary medallion.

According to Sally, “As to the symbolism: The Virgin Mary with folded arms across her chest was a sign of secretly acknowledging a fellow Christian. The arms formed the sign of the cross.”

Here’s a paper that explains the symbolism of the Mary with her arms crossed in more detail:

There are hundreds of similar Mother Mary medallions, just like St. Christopher, Mother Mary is a favorite among Christians. My mother prays to her, she might not have any power, but she’s a great role model and easy to relate to. My estimate of value would be in the $25-100 dollar range, if your medallion is silver.
