Alabaster bookends honor Mary, Lady of Fatima with her image as well as the Fatima prayer. Able to keep heavy books in line, these bookends both organize and decorate your home. They make the perfect personal gift for all those with a Marian devotion.

The short prayer was taught by Our Blessed Mother taught to the children Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. Both this prayer and image remind us to ask God continuously for His mercy upon us.

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"x8", including the 4"x6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

Text reads:
"Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy."
