Label Text
These three heart-shaped religious badges were made by nuns who sold them in convent shops or markets during feast days to wear as statements of devotion to a particular saint. Shown here are representations of Saint Lucy, Our Lady of Sorrows, and Saint Anthony of Padua.
Estos escapularios en forma de corazón fueron hechos por monjas que los vendían en los días de fiesta. Se usaban como declaraciones de devoción a un santo en particular. Los santos representados en estos escapularios son: Santa Lucía, La Dolorosa, y San Antonio de Padua.
