Il Cornicello

La madonnina (Miraculous Medal) 

Purple is a mixture of the calm stability of the color blue and of the fierce energy and strength of the color red; said to represent transformation, royalty because of its association with the clothing of ancient monarchs, strength and also mystery and magic.

The Latin inscription on the medal reads: "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who turn to you"
