NEW Copper hammered milagros from Peru
Milagros are translated as "little miracles". These charms have been used for centuries in churches for the faithful to request miracles. The flaming heart is a popular symbol for expressing love and passion.
Milagros are made by artisans from any Catholic country and we have a fine collection from Peru, Mexico and Germany.
These days, a non-religious use of the milagros includes giving them as gifts to loved ones, decorative uses, ornaments and keepsakes. |

Milagros are votive offerings to ask for healing in the Catholic Church. They are made many different ways around the world, but they basically are used as a symbolic image of what needs to be healed. Then hung on the wall behind the saint or on the clothing of the saint inside the church. Devout parishioners make milagros out of what they have - lost wax casting methods or hammering sheets of tin and silver are typical kinds of milagros. These are beautiful things to be cherished. Gifts to special people in your wedding, to keep on your home altar... some folks love the iconography and make earrings out of the smaller milagros. The Amor silver plate milagro, if made in sterling, would cost hundreds of dollars. It's very beautiful. |
