A Luminous Symbol of Divine Grace
The Miraculous Madonna (also known as Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal) is one of the most powerful representations in Christian art. This noble wood carving depicts Mary in her iconic pose: arms slightly spread, with fine rays of light emanating from her hands—a symbol of the graces she grants to those who ask. She stands upon the globe, crushing the serpent, highlighting her role as a protectress.
This figure combines deep spirituality with the centuries-old tradition of Val Gardena wood carving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What do the rays on the Madonna's hands represent?
The rays symbolize the graces that Mary receives from God and passes on to humanity. In the 1830 vision, it was explained that the brightest rays represent the graces for which people actually ask.
What kind of wood is used for the figure?
We primarily use maple wood from the Alps. It is particularly hard and fine-pored, making it ideal for depicting delicate facial features and filigree rays. For larger dimensions, we also use linden wood.
Are the rays fragile?
Since the statue is made of real wood, the rays are stable yet delicate. We pack each figure in special, shock-resistant safety packaging to ensure it arrives at your home undamaged.
Can I give this figure as a gift for a housewarming or Baptism?
Absolutely. The Miraculous Madonna is considered a powerful patron saint. She is a classic gift for new beginnings, during times of illness, or as a blessing for a young family.
How can I recognize authentic Val Gardena craftsmanship?
Our figures are characterized by high depth of detail and superior hand-painting. Upon request, you will receive a certificate confirming its origin from the traditional workshops of South Tyrol.
