This product listing offers one handmade bracelet paired with a special prayer card. The bracelet is designed to fit a woman's medium-sized wrist and is intended for those who appreciate religious jewelry. It is my design and is only available from me as the artist. This image is copyright protected in Canada and the United States. I am a Mohawk artist from Kahnawà:ke where Saint Kateri's shine is located.
The bracelet features a laminated image on wood, depicting Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, also known as the Lily of the Mohawks. Saint Kateri Tekakwitha's life story serves as the inspiration for this bracelet. She was a Native American Christian who fled the harsh persecution in her village, Ossernenon (Auriesville, New York), sought refuge in Kahnawà:ke, a praying village near present-day Montreal, (Quebec) where she could practice her faith freely.
To commemorate the 6th anniversary of her canonization, the prayer card showcases a beautiful image of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha arriving at Kahnawà:ke, modeled by a 24-year-old Mohawk woman. The detailed image is entwined with symbols that represent her life and spirituality: a radiant lily for virginity, a cross for holiness, and an eagle feather in her braided hair stands for peace, power, and righteousness. The back of the prayer card comes with a powerful prayer to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, thanking her for her heroic courage, constant perseverance, and deep love for the Cross.
This handcrafted product is not only a piece of jewelry but a heartfelt tribute to Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and her enduring legacy. It serves as an inspiration and a reminder for those who seek her intercession.
Additional context is provided about the image presentation made on the 6th anniversary of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha's canonization. The presentation saw Jessica Loft, a leading artist from Kahnawake, donate stunning Giclée images on canvas of the Saint to the Canada National Saint Kateri Shrine and to the Apostolic Nuncio Luigi Bonazzi.
