Pair of Embroideries - Boy & Animals w/ Biblical Quotes
This is a pair of beautifully detailed embroideries with religious quotes. They are similar to each other, but there are a couple of differences. The same boy appears in both of the embroideries with different animals, sheep and deer. Both pictures have palm trees, greenery, and a top border design. The wood frames are different and the background colors are slightly different. They are both done with very nice detailed stitching. They are colorful and bright. There is no thread loss and no stains. Paper backings are missing. One wire hanger has been replaced. Circa 1920’s.

Rare Antique Religious Priest Motto Blessing “To Be A Priest” All Hand-Done / Artist: Rev. Timothy Shannon, T.O.R.
This is a rare and very unique antique religious motto titled, "To be a Priest". This is not a print. Both the illustrations on the matting and the motto are all hand-done by artist and Father Reverend Timothy Shannon, T.O.R. (1909-1985). I believe Shannon lived and was active in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The words in this sentiment are beautifully written and would certainly ring true for most Priests. The Reverend signed his name, along with initials, near the top of the matting in fancy Old English lettering. An interesting detail is that the artist emphasized certain profound words in bold print throughout this motto, such as the words, ‘Priest’, ‘blest’, ‘Christ’, ‘God’, Divine’, ‘Prayer’, ‘seek’, and ‘apart’. The artist / Reverend created a nice arbor-type border framing the motto with grapevines and grapes adorning the arbor. This is a most unusual mixed media motto done with pen and ink and watercolors. Shimmery, gold highlights throughout. Above the artist’s name at the top is a picture of a Holy Chalice with the letters, "IHS", written within. The motto and matting are in excellent original condition, with the very slightest bit of waviness to it. Original, gold-painted molded wood frame. The frame is also in excellent original condition with minimal age-appropriate wear to the gold finish. Original glass, paper backing, and old wire hanger. The original framer’s label, "Charles M. Heritage; Correct Picture Framing; 407 Broadway; Camden, N.J.", remains intact on the paper backing. This wonderful, divine, and special motto would truly make a great gift for that blessed Priest in your life! Circa 1920’s.
*** I’ve included, below, some interesting information about THE MEANING BEHIND A CHALICE, as well as THE MEANING OF THE INITIALS, ‘IHS’:
A chalice is a standing cup, a drinking vessel, used to hold sacramental wine during Holy Communion or The Lord’s Supper. The symbol of the Holy Chalice is open to interpretations, as there are many.
‘IHS’ is a symbolic monogram of Christ used by the Roman Catholic Church. The initials, ‘IHS’ stand for the shortened name of Jesus Christ in Latin. IHS is an ancient monogram (or letter symbol) for Jesus that dates back to the first century. The letter I means: Iesus and is Latin for the English word: JESUS. The letter H means: Hominum and is Latin for the English word: OF MEN. The letter S means: Salvator and is Latin for the English word: SAVIOR. So in conclusion, the initials, ‘IHS’ stand for the words ‘Jesus Savior of Men’. The symbol originated in Rome with the early Christians, and was popularized in the fifteenth century by Franciscan disciple Bernardine of Sienna, who promoted it as a symbol of peace. There is, however, good evidence that the initials were used to represent Bacchus, the god of wine, who early Christians identified with Jesus.
