"Like any good Christian,
Cecilia sang in her heart, and sometimes with her voice. She has become a symbol of the Church's conviction that good music is an integral part of the liturgy,
of greater value to the Church than any other art. "
Read about St. Cecilia
This particular series of holy cards, called "Cielo", features an art form where only the main character is in color. The background behind the main person is all in black and white.

How nice holycard! Thank you so much for sharing with us :)
I knew I would find a picture of St. Cecilia right here! God be praised!!!
Lots of love to you, dear Micki!
Meldelen - Welcome to a first time commenter. So glad you were pleased.
Easter - May St. Cecilia bring music to your heart today. Love back to you always.
Beautiful, St. Cecilia! Makes me miss playing the organ...
The odd thing is the organ was not introduced into liturgy until around the year 1000. Pipe organs did not exist at the time of St. Cecelia but they were rather water organs.
Adriene - Thank you. Why don't you get back to your musical talents? I played piano and organ but always prefered the piano because as a youngster, you could pound out marches and ragtime on the piano but not on an organ. Silly huh?
Sanctus Belle - Great piece of information. I didn't even consider that timing. I guess the original St. Cecilia usually had the hand-held harp (or whatever that was??).
i would like to use one of the ceilo cards in an art project and i'm looking for contact information for the makers. do you know if these cards are still under copyright? do you have any contact information? is "ceilo" the name of the maker? thanks for any help you can offer. patty
Anonymous, Sorry I don't know anthing about copyright dates. This card was probably from around the 1950-60s.
Saint cecelia has inspired me to be a singer! I have had much success! Thank the Lord and all of his mighty works!
Thank you for sharing St. Cecelia's gift to you. To God be the Glory.
