Christmas Ornament Padre Pio's Favorite Madonna and Child

Padre Pio's Favorite Madonna. Now available as a Christmas ornament! I hand cut the glass and sandwich 2 prints back to back and edge it with lead-free solder. It measures 2 by 3 inches, but varies a little as each one is a little different.

"Our Lady of Graces"

This is Our Lady of Graces, the same image from St. Padre Pio's monastery at San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy. He said Mass before this image many, many times. (See the pictures with this item for one of St. Padre Pio praying near the image in his church. A small copy of this picture is on the descriptive sheet sent with the print.)

St. Pio was deeply devoted to Mary, and the Rosary was a powerful implement in his hands. He called it his "weapon" against evil. Part of his great holiness was his astonishing, total love and devotion to Mary.

There are many great quotes from St. Padre Pio on Mary. Here's one of our favorites: "Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, because she is the sea to be crossed to reach the shores of Eternal Splendor."

Devotional art in your home helps you and others stay mindful of God.
