1900s - 2 Vintage Religious First Communion Cards - Catholic Ephemera - Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary with Child - Spiritual Keepsakes

This collection features two beautiful religious remembrance cards, likely dating from the early 20th century.

The first card depicts Jesus Christ seated, holding an open book, and blessing a young boy who kneels before him in a First Communion suit, holding a rosary. A church steeple is visible in the background, set within a serene garden scene.

The second card illustrates the Virgin Mary, hands clasped in prayer, beside the Child Jesus. The Child Jesus holds a chalice and a communion wafer, symbolizing the Eucharist. Below this image, a heartfelt French inscription reads: 'O Jésus, que mon bonheur soit de vous aimer toujours.' which translates to 'O Jesus, may my happiness be to love you always.'

The reverse side of both cards presents a similar blank template with the heading 'Souvenir de ma Première Communion,' meaning 'Souvenir of my First Communion,' for personalization.
