Sacred Heart basically is a religious devotion towards Jesus; this devotion is mainly applied in the Roman Catholic Church and illustrates the divine love for humanity.
It also emphasizes on the fundamental Christian concept of loving and adoring Jesus. The foundation of this devotion in its contemporary form is derived from a French Catholic nun known as Mari Alacoque, who supposedly learned this devotion from Jesus via visions. Ancestors to the present devotion existed to a certain extend in the middle Ages in quite a few mystical sects.
The Scared Heart is generally illustrated in Christian art as a blazing stylized heart, penetrated by the lance-wound, bordered by a crown of thorns, and bleeding. At times this image is placed over Jesus body with his wounded hands pointing towards the heart.
