NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) 2 Inch Square Button

NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) 2 Inch Square Button

In this detail from a splendid NeoGothic Swiss devotional print, St. Cecilia of Rome (3rd century) is depicted playing an upright pipe organ against an aqua background patterned with gold dots and stars. Her long auburn hair hangs loose and tumbles over her shoulders and down her back. She wears a medieval-style, cream-coloured gown lined in green over a dark red-orange kirtle. The gown has a square neckline and bell sleeves. + Despite her private vow of virginity, St. Cecilia was forced into an arranged marriage with a pagan named Valerian. During the festivities, it is said, St. Cecilia “sang in her heart to the Lord” instead of revelling; hence, her patronage of musicians (especially organists) and singers The marriage was never consummated. The long and the short of it is that her new husband, having seen an apparition of the angel that guarded his wife’s virtue, converted to Christianity and respected her vow. + Epilog: St. Cecilia, her husband St. Valerian, and her brother-in-law St. Tiburtius were all martyred. But, that’s a story for another day! + Feast: November 22 + Image Credit (BNG 02): Detail of an antique NeoGothic image of St. Cecilia, originally published in chromolithography by Benziger & Co., Einsiedeln, Switzerland, late 19th-early 20th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

The 8 pins I ordered for committee members were perfect. They turned out better than I expected! Liked them so much I ordered an additional pin with a different design and again I was pleased with the result. Pleased with everything about my order.

Round Button, Small, 1¼ Inch
Shipping to Canada isn't cheap, but it's been totally worth it! I ordered the square buttons with the white background. They are larger than I expected, making them standout and draw attention. I changed the text to: "Not all cancer is pink. Anal cancer awareness". It's been almost impossible to find products for anal cancer, as it's a rare cancer. The design and printing are clear, though the text is quite small. It's not a huge problem though as most people have to ask what the design means, as anal cancer is rare. It's a good way to start conversations.

Amazing quality of the picture. Was perfect for my special day. Printing was clear and the message I wanted was perfect. The colour was yellow because I wanted it to match my dads hat
