"The hour has sounded for joyful chants: Alleluia
Let us praise God with our life,
with our voice,
with our heart,
and with our deeds."
St. Augustine
IMAGO SACRA MILLE GRATIARUM VALET. ("A holy picture is worth a thousand graces")................... This blog is a means to show some of my holy card collection along with some interesting thoughts and inspirations. "....artists have the privilege in the Church and throughout history, to open up so that people can see the mystery of God. The artist speaks, not just literally, but symbolically. Visual images, if well done, can move us. That's a ministry." Quote from Brother Michael Moran, C.P

What an unusual card, Micki.
Blue is usually reserved for Our Lady. I may have never seen a depiction of Jesus wearing blue before ... and what an intense shade of blue it is!
John
All praise and glory and honor to you Lord, Jesus Christ.
John - I guess the painter must have thought the same thing and decided to do a "blue" Jesus. Interesting huh?
Ed - Amen
