"Bread of Angels"
Print Based on Vintage Holy Card
This angel is reverently carrying the Eucharist down from Heaven during the Mass. The inscription on this French holy card was from the divine office of the day. In English it reads, “Angel of God who carry our prayers to the tabernacle, send down on us all the graces of the Eucharist.”
Angels are involved with the Eucharist, bringing down this Bread of Angels from Heaven. In the interchange between Earth and Heaven during the Mass, they can carry our prayers up to Heaven.
This was printed by the Gérard - Desgodets Company in Paris who were active in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.
– Acid-free paper
– Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
– Cardboard backer
