This is a stunning set of collectible vintage postcards. They are highly detailed images of events in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  One card shows the scene of the Assumption. Our Lady is shown at her deathbed surrounded by the Apostles. Angels can be seen carrying her bodily to Heaven where Christ  awaits. The other card shows the Madonna on a donkey with an infant Jesus in her arms. They are being led by an elderly Joseph through the city gates.

The cards are beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors and shimmering metallic gold detailing.

These illustrations were reproduced from the medieval Bedford Hours manuscript dating to the early fifteenth century. Books of Hours were popular prayer books for the laity during the middle ages.  They were an abbreviated version of the Breviary prayed by monastics. Each Book of Hours is a unique work of art with magnificent illuminations.

The original Bedford Hours manuscript is currently housed in the British Library.

This is an amazing vintage crucifix for home devotions. It is designed to look like the ancient wayside crosses still commonly found in the European countryside. There are two steps leading to a bench or altar at the foot of the cross. The crucifix and altar are sheltered under an A-framed roof with small rocks as roof snow guards. These crosses have been erected over the centuries as way-markers and as memorials. They were popular stopping points for rest and prayer used by travelers on pilgrimage.  

The entire piece is hand-carved wood with a gray plastic corpus.
