DO YOU ALREADY KNOW HIS STORY?

Taking advantage of the fact that we have designed a new gem Inspired by the milagritos , today we come to tell you their story and how they have evolved to this day.

As for their origins, it is known that they were introduced to Latin America by the Spanish during their conquest, and that each country gradually adapted them according to their culture and devotion.

It is known that it was Hernán Cortés himself who introduced them to Mexico, who, after surviving the poison of a scorpion and as an offering for his salvation, made a little miracle with its shape.

The Mexicans, witnesses of this miracle, began to perform their little miracles to ask for or give thanks for divine favors. For example, if someone had a problem with an arm, they would design a figurine in the shape of an arm to ask for it to be cured.

Why are “little miracles” directly related to “Mexican hearts”?

We could talk about different causes that can help us understand why today it is a term that is directly identified with Mexican hearts.

The originally known milagritos are a custom that has practically disappeared in Spain. They can still be found votive offerings made of wax or other materials in some churches.

However, in some Latin American countries, and especially in Mexico , remains one of its devoted traditions that has merged with the practice of using the milagritos as symbols that decorate hearts or stop the sacred heart of Jesus .

As a result of this, we can say that today the “milagritos” originally known are identified as “Mexican hearts.” And it has been the connection between religion, art and the passion for colors that has made them personify and transmit that Mexican essence to the rest of the world.

With our Miracle Necklace We want to convey to you our devotion to He . So that you may remember that the human Heart of Jesus is the symbol of his marvelous love for all men.
