We love the colors of this early 20th Century French holy card, the red and gold and green, and its simple, relaxed style. To us, it looks like a forerunner of Mid-Century popular art, and it has a perfect atmosphere as a kitchen emblem of our Catholic faith.

La Sainte Cène translates literally to The Sainted Supper, or The Holy Supper. We don’t know why St. Augustin is referenced in the lower left hand corner, nor who the publisher was. But we can say that the arrangement is traditional for a Last Supper painting in that there is room at the table for the viewer across from Christ. In this painting, you’d need to sit between a Saint and the only one without a halo, hiding his money bag behind him. This is indicative of the choices we face: sin on the one hand, sanctity on the other. Christ is looking directly at us, welcoming us to His table.

** IMPORTANT ** There is about an inch-and-a-third of white space around the picture, so the image is smaller than the paper.
