About the Hearts:
The Sacred Heart is often depicted in Christian art as a flaming heart[5] shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross, and bleeding. Sometimes, the image is shown shining within the bosom of Christ with his wounded hands pointing at the heart. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Jesus' death, while the fire represents the transformative power of divine love. The Sacred Heart of Jesus devotion is one of the most popular in the Catholic Church today. The imagery of Christ pointing to his human heart on fire with love serves to remind us of Christ's immense and infinite love for humanity, radiating out of His Divine and Sacred Heart, which took Him to the cross to die for our salvation.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary is a devotional name used to refer to the interior life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her joys and sorrows, her virtues and hidden perfections, and, above all, her virginal love for God the Father, her maternal love for her son Jesus, and her compassionate love for all people. Traditionally, the heart is depicted pierced with seven wounds or swords, in homage to the sorrows of Mary. Also, roses or another type of flower may be wrapped around the heart.
