NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) Magnet

NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) Magnet

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.

Friendly and helpful with my design issues on original order. Shipping was prompt as promised. Excellent workmanship. Product was actually better than I expected. I will be ordering aging in the near future. Picture was exactly as I wanted. Colours were perfect.

Instead of sending a Christmas card, our family creates a fridge magnet with Zazzle, and sends these to friends and family. These fun items live on the fridge for many years, and long outlast the poor Christmas card which ends up in the recycling with the wrapping paper on Boxing Day. The colours are vibrant, printing is clear. There are plenty of fonts and colours to choose from to create a personalized item.
