Through captivating images such as Sacerdos Alter Christus (chromolitho) and Souvenir of Ordination (chromolitho), we are invited to delve into the depths of our faith, exploring the significance of the body of Christ. To consecrate the body of Jesus Christ, to eat the bread of angels and to give it to others, is a dignity beyond all human merit. This powerful message resonates within us as we gaze upon these chromolithos that depict this sacred act. They serve as a reminder that partaking in communion is not merely an ordinary ritual but rather an extraordinary privilege bestowed upon us. The Mass of Saint Gregory, 1496, captured on canvas with meticulous detail, transports us back in time to witness this holy event firsthand. The vibrant colors evoke a sense of reverence and awe as we witness St. Gregory's devotion during this momentous occasion. Through In memory of first communion (chromolitho), we are reminded that our first encounter with the body of Christ holds great significance in our spiritual journey. It symbolizes a union with God's heavenly Bread which opens up new horizons for us - connecting heaven and earth in ways unimaginable. Ms Gen 288 f. 38v The Holy Sacrament and two angels, c. 1460 (vellum) showcases intricate craftsmanship on delicate vellum pages – reminding us that even centuries ago, artists sought to capture the essence and beauty surrounding this divine sacrament. The Mass of St. Gregory the Great (detail from altar) depicted through oil on panel invites contemplation on how every element within this sacred ceremony carries deep symbolism – each gesture laden with meaning beyond words can express. As we reflect upon Communion Symbols presented before us, let them be reminders that these simple elements hold profound spiritual significance.
