Trivia[]

  • The item is based upon the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Catholic devotion which uses the image of Christ's physical heart (often depicted as glowing, burning, and crowned with thorns) as a symbolic representation of His infinite and long-suffering love for humanity.

Bugs[]

When Sacred Heart tears go through the Lemon Mishap effect, they will stay in the middle of the puddle until the effect wears off.
