Maybe a chain with the image of the mother of Jesus means nothing to people and they would only wear it as fashion or an accessory, but for me a chain with the image of the Virgin Mary became a very important part of me, no. . . is. just because He takes care of me, if I don't feel protected, this is my story...

Saturday, May 21, 2022 was an incredible day for me and even more so because it was a day that I would have an incredible time with my family. It wasn't an extravagant party but we had a great time as a family. At that party I wore a light blue dress, which is my favorite color, with small diamonds. That day was one of my favorites not only because I spent it with my family and shared it with them, but my mother gave me a gold chain with an image of the mother of Jesus that was made entirely of a gold alloy and carries a mark of purity. The gold-plated or gold-plated chain, on the other hand, has a brass-like metal base that has been covered with a thin layer of 14KB real gold alloy. You wear it around your neck, that was one of my favorite days. Honestly more because my mother told where it came from and who made it, that chain is from Guatemala, and it was made by my great-grandfather. For me, that chain means a lot because it gives me good luck and peace when I don't feel well when the holidays come because all my family, like my grandparents, are in my country. I feel that it connects with my identity and my culture because in my culture we bet a lot on the Virgin Mary and my identity because she transmitted peace and drive.
