1910s - 3 Vintage Religious Cards - French Holy Communion Prayer Cards - Ornate Catholic Art - Ephemera for Junk Journals and Scrapbooking

This collection features three charming vintage religious cards, typical of early 20th-century Catholic iconography. Each card, likely a chromo or image pieuse, showcases a distinct scene related to the Eucharist, reflecting common themes of First Communion or devout contemplation. The illustrations are rendered in vibrant colors with decorative gilded borders and scalloped edges, characteristic of prayer cards from this era.

One card depicts a priest administering communion to young boys, while two other cards illustrate Jesus offering the Host and Chalice to children or angels. Textual excerpts are in French, such as 'Venez à Jésus Hostie - pour vivre de lui. Enfants, Il vous appelle, venez manger ce pain qui nourrit, boire le vin qui fortifie. (Pie X.)' which translates to 'Come to Jesus Host - to live of him. Children, He calls you, come eat this bread that nourishes, drink this wine that fortifies. (Pius X.)'.

Another reads 'LES ANGES ADORATEURS. O Pain des Anges, devenu l'aliment des hommes, par quelles louanges vous exalter ?' or 'THE ADORING ANGELS. O Bread of Angels, become the food of men, with what praises shall we exalt you?'.

These pieces are perfect for historical religious studies or as unique additions to vintage ephemera collections.
