These alabaster bookends feature the scene of the Annunciation. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for everyone with a devotion to Mary, Mother of God. Her Fiat inspires all of us to say "yes" to God's love and will in our lives.

The original artwork is the oil painting Annunciation by contemporary artist Jason Jenicke. 

The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish. 

Each measures roughly 6" x 8", including the 4"x 6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

Text reads:

"Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts; that, as we have known the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son, by the message of an Angel, so by His Passion and Cross we may be brought to the glory of the Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen."
