Find inspiration to help those in need with our OLO Guadalupe/Nino de Atocha Inexensive Oxidized Medal. Portrayed as a small Spanish pilgrim boy, the image of the child Jesus known as Santo Nino de Atocha is dressed in a long gown and cape with a wide lace collar and frilled cuffs. The widespread belief in the miraculous works of the Holy Child started in Spain and grew as a Roman Catholic devotion in many countries.
During ancient times, the caliph issued an order that no one except children twelve years old and younger would be permitted to bring food to prisoners. Thus, women appealed to Nino de Atocha to help them find a way to feed their imprisoned relatives.
The Guadalupe/Nino de Atocha medal features the sacred image of Our Lady of Guadelupe praying on the front and Nino de Atocha on the back. The inexpensive medal is one of the best religious gifts for those who dedicate their lives to helping less privileged brothers and sisters.
