Our Lady of Lourdes Roses – based on a Vintage French Holy Card – Catholic Art Print

When Bernadette asked the lady who she was, she told the peasant girl, "I am the Immaculate Conception." Bernadette reported that to her parish priest, but she did not know what it meant. He did. Bernadette also reported that the lady had a blue sash and yellow roses on her feet, as shown in this endearing depiction from the turn of the last century.

Mary and the Host of Heaven dote on us and sometimes, though very, very rarely, will appear to us visually. This sweet French picture has Mary shrouded in roses, to symbolize the love she brings with her when she comes to us, seen or unseen.

** 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
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!
