Such peace and compassion in Mary. And yet, "a sword shall pierce your own heart, too, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." (Luke 2:35)

This image helps remind us of our relationship with Mary. Devotional artwork in the home can help the hearts of those who see it.

We did a lot of restoration on this print, taking out the fading and yellowing.



For framing, we recommend something solid-looking, such as a darker wood. You can matte it if you want to keep the print off the glass, but you don't have to matte our prints. They look good with the 1.35" white border around the print. Since all our prints are standard sizes, you can easily get a frame you like at Hobby Lobby or online. No special orders needed. If you would like us to mail this framed, please convo us, and we'll find something you'll like.

** 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!
