~Milagros, are known as "little miracles". Milagros are small metal religious charms found in many areas of Latin America, especially Mexico and Peru. These small charms, often depicting body parts, sacred hearts, faithful, praying people, children, pregnant women, farm animals and a wide range of other subjects are typically nailed or pinned to crosses. Milagros can also be attached to wooden statues of various saints, the Virgin Mary or Christ, sacred objects, pinned on the clothing, or hung from little red ribbons or threads to altars and shrines. They are also carried for protection and good luck. Who doesn't have more room for divine healing and miracles in their life?

~The cross and its cosmic symbology was around thousands of years prior to Christianity. The cross represents the Tree of Life and the Tree of Nourishment. It is also a symbol of universal, archetypal man, capable of infinite and harmonious expansion on both the horizontal and the vertical planes. The cross also expresses the dualism in nature and the union of opposites and represents spiritual union.

~The symbology of the sacred heart is one that resonates with mystics and seekers of the divine as it transcends religion and dogma. The heart is the center of being, both physical and spiritual, it symbolizes compassion, understanding, love and charity. Therefore symbolizing the temple of god/goddess is within for we are the temple of the divine. If we align ourselves with the meaning of the Sacred Heart and the vibration of Christ consciousness, this great symbol can remind us of who we really are; the unequivocal expression of genuine love.
