Divine Mercy - Stained Glass Religious Medal "EXCLUSIVE"

As early as the fourth century, stained glass windows, originally used by wealthy Romans in their homes, were used in Christian churches. The designs in glass depicted Biblical characters and the saints. In such shapes, the windows could do more than simply add light and beauty to the church. Stained glass windows were a way to add beauty and to provide narrative information to those who looked at them. Churches often had stained glass windows because they were both sites of worship and learning.

The Divine Mercy is a Christian devotion focused on the mercy of God and its power, particularly as a form of thanksgiving and entrusting of oneself to God's mercy.
The devotion as known today can be traced to Polish nun and canonized saint, Sister Faustyna Kowalska, known as the "Apostle of Mercy", who lived from 1905-1938. It is known that anyone who seeks God's mercy will not be turned away (Matthew 7:7). "Jesus I Trust In You" are the words inscribed on a picture that Faustina had said was to be made at the request of Jesus himself through the inner speakings of the Lord to Faustina.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II officially instituted the Feast of the Divine Mercy universally for the Catholic Church on the same day that he also canonized St. Faustina.
