    Antique White Metal Rosary Book Box Marked A E MARIA/B.V. DI POMEI

    1950s
    5 x 7 cm

     
    Vintage Pressed Metal Religious Rosary Case from Pompei
    This Rosary book box is in good condition. The notation refers to The Pontifical Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei and likely references the Pontificio Santuario della Beata Vergine del Santo Rosario di Pompei, a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Pompei, Italy.
     
    The item references the church which was restored in 1873. At that time, there was a festival in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary. In 1875, a painting of Our Lady of the Rosary was obtained from a convent in Naples and funds were raised to restore the image. Miracles began to be reported and pilgrims began flocking in droves to the church. In 1876, the church was expanded and in 1891, it was consecrated by Cardinal Raffaele Monaco La Valletta, representing Pope Leo XIII.
     
    The painting of "Our Lady of the Rosary" depicts the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus presenting rosaries to Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena.
     
    This item is perfect for collectors of religious items, or for use in your assemblage art or jewelry.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
