St. Cecilia, Glimmering Art

The Framing This jeweled art print is framed with glass in a nearly 3” wide antique gold, very ornate, wood baroque frame. This is a museum quality picture frame (not the typical light weight imitation), made with real wood. The frame back is professionally finished with a clean backing (black paper) and includes a mounted wire attached to framing straps, making it ready to hang. This is a 8" x 10" original jewel art piece, framed with an overall picture frame size of approximately 15 x 17 (inches).

The Image This is Saint Cecilia, who is the patron saint of musicians and Church music because as she was dying she sang to God. This is uniquely detailed by the artist using different varieties of paints. No two are alike as they are individually handmade. This provides each piece to be an original creation.

The Story It is written that as the musicians played at her wedding she "sang in her heart to the lord". St. Cecilia was an only child. Her feast day is celebrated in the Roman Catholic, the Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches on November 22. She is one of seven women, excluding the Blessed Virgin, commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. It was long supposed that she was a noble lady of Rome who, with her husband Valerian, his brother Tiburtius, and a Roman soldier Maximus, suffered martyrdom, c. 230, under the Emperor Alexander Severus.
