EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful Chromolithograph Devotional Card depicts a miraculous moment in the life of Saint Stanislaus Kostka, a Polish novice of the Society of Jesus, who is venerated in the Catholic Church. Born in 1550, Stanislaus is known for his deep devotion to the Eucharist and his ascetic lifestyle. The image captures the moment when an angel bestows the miraculous Eucharist upon him, symbolizing the grace and divine favor bestowed upon this humble servant of God. The card, which dates back to 1909, was used for the First Communion of Andre Lefever at the Church of St. Eloi (Eligius, also known as Eloy or Loye) in Dunkirk, France. The elegant Art Nouveau border adds an exquisite touch to the already captivating scene. Saint Stanislaus Kostka, dressed in the traditional garb of a Jesuit novice, gazes up in awe and reverence as the angel extends the monstrance, revealing the sacred Host. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the transformative power of the Eucharist and the profound connection between the faithful and the divine. The Chromolithograph Devotional Card, which is part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the beauty and rich history of Catholic art and devotion. This unique piece not only holds historical significance but also serves as a testament to the enduring faith and spirituality of the Catholic community.
