cloister-collection-official.jpgThis icon plaque, Prayer to the Virgin Mary, comes from the Cloister Collection, Nelson Gift Wholesale's exclusive line of wood slab icons.

The subject of this image, Mary as Mother of Mercy (Mater Misericordiae), enfolding Christians under her mantle of protection, is a favorite of iconographers and painters throughout Church history, and was especially popular in the late middle ages and early renaissance periods. Also known as Our Lady of Ransom in some places, this image is often used and promoted by the Mercedarian Order, whose official title is the Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives.

Step into the past and experience ancient beauty with Cloister Collection icons. Fashioned in Steubenville, Ohio by a dedicated team of Catholic woodworkers and graphic restoration artists, these large, weighty icons have a medieval, weathered look produced through a complex process of machining and digital printing.  Feed your soul and others' with these rich depictions from the history of the Catholic Church.

The 8"x12" image size is 9" wide by 13" tall and 1-1/2" deep including the plaque and is 1.84lbs.
The 12"x18" image size is 13" wide by 19" tall and 1-1/2" deep including the plaque and is 2.84lbs.

The icon is heavy and feels rich with authenticity and character; it can propped up, laid on an altar, or wall-hung from the sturdy d-ring on back.
