Antique French Saint Bernadette Soubirous Lourdes Cross Medal – Religious Devotional Pendant

A beautiful antique French devotional medal depicting Saint Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes, presented in an unusual cross-shaped form.

The front features a finely detailed portrait of Saint Bernadette Soubirous, surrounded by the French inscription “S. Bernadette Soubirous”, with decorative floral and ornamental details incorporated into the cross.

The reverse depicts the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes, with Saint Bernadette kneeling before Our Lady at the Grotto of Massabielle.

The medal has an attractive aged patina and shows visible signs of age and devotional use, including surface wear, darkening and loss of some of the original finish. These characteristics contribute to its authentic antique appearance.

The unusual cross-shaped design makes this a particularly appealing piece for collectors of French Catholic devotional medals, Lourdes memorabilia, Saint Bernadette Soubirous, religious antiques and pilgrimage objects.
