Christ the King: the meaning of this feast that closes the liturgical year
On the last Sunday before Advent, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Christ the King, the feast that closes the liturgical year and gives way to the anticipation of Christmas.
A Different Kind of King
This feast, instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, does not celebrate earthly power, but the spiritual kingship of Christ: a king defined by service and love, not by force. It is also the origin of the practice of consecrating Spain and other countries to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Why Wear a Sacred Heart Medal or a Cross
At Khartes Madrid, we design and handcraft medals right here in Spain that are meant to be much more than jewelry: they are a way to keep the faith and the traditions of our families close to our hearts. We believe that giving a medal is an act of love: a way to tell someone that we pray for them and wish for them to always be protected.
It is a wonderful time to give a piece that speaks of this different kind of kingship: humble, close, and made with love. Our enameled medals and crosses are a beautiful way to carry it with you.
