Sacred Heart badge, Detente Bala, iron on badge, sew on patch, embroidered badge, embroider patch, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Soldier protection

"Detente bala" is an inscription used by Spanish soldiers from the 18th century.

The phrase detente bala means "stop, bullet" in Spanish. The whole motto is usually written Detente bala, el Corazon de Jesús está conmigo! meaning: "Stop, bullet, Jesus Christ Sacred Heart is with me (or protects me)!"

Patches of cloth with the phrase around a Sacred Heart of Jesus were worn on the chest as a protection and later as a piece of cloth under the namerank badge (usually as close to the heart as possible). The devotion is derived by the badges of the Sacred Heart promoted by 17th-century saint Margaret Mary Alacoque against epidemics. They are still used by the Spanish soldiers in the 21st century.

The Scared Heart badge is a religious patch that can be ironed and sew on to items. It will make a great addition to any bag-pack or clothing. I have many other religious patches/badges so you can find the one that you prefer most! Perfect for use by pilgrims on their pilgrimage.

Would recommend ironing patch to place and then sew onto the item in question to make it much stronger.

The main photograph shows three badges, this is to show that we can make these in different languages. The listing is for one badge.

This listing is for a physical item.
