Fruits of Mary Catholic Scarf | Miraculous Medal

All through the history of Christianity, the faith has used symbols in nature as signs to quietly pronounce what we believe.

This is true for honoring The Blessed Mother Mary. Fruits, flowers, birds, lady bugs and more have been used to teach the faith about The Mother of God and her virginity.

Our "Fruits of her Womb" Catholic fashion scarf does just that, the color and style is vibrant yet subtly very Catholic and subtly very MARY!

Pomegranate, strawberries in bloom, almonds, and pears all portrayed in a design custom drawn for Outrageous Mom Catholic Gifts!

The pomegranate has been seen in many historical paintings of Mary holding infant Christ. The Church and Our Lady are symbolized in the pomegranate. Fruitfulness and unity with the Will of God are depicted in the fruit because the seeds are so close to one another. As close as the seeds and flesh of the fruit are, Jesus and Mary are that close. Mary encloses Jesus in her womb, the way the seeds of the fruit are wrapped in parts of the fruit.

Pears reflect the fruitfulness of Mary and her "yes" at the incarnation, undoing Eve's "no" at the fall. The pear represents the new life of Christ in Mary!

Strawberries symbolize the Virgin Mary's fruitful virginity because they are in flower and fruit at the same time, just as Mary is Virgin and Mother. Strawberries grow low to the ground, further symbolizing Mary as humble and lowly.

The almond is a shape associated with the Mother of God and her virginity as well as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Attached to each scarf is a mini Miraculous Medal. The medal design was made in 1832 with the approval of the Catholic Church after Mary had appeared to St. Catherine Laboure. The medal was quickly distributed throughout France. and blessings that Mary had promised flowed to all who wore the medal. It became referred to as "The Miraculous Medal" and is still one of the strongest devotions throughout the world in the Catholic Church, just behind the rosary.

Fashion and Faith all in one! As people compliment your scarf you will be drawn to share the gift of the Catholic faith and Mary's love for all people. Mary is a sure path to her son.
