Large Processional Christ Banner – Circa 1850

On a red background, with its thick gold thread embroidery and its many representations, our neo-Gothic banner has retained its freshness. The main motif is a large representation of two angels and a monstrance. In its center, this monstrance carrying a host is supported by two praying angels. A scene framed by the following Latin phrase "Ecce Panis Angelorum Factus Cibus Viatorum" which could be translated as "This is the bread of the angels who became food for the traveler."
A rich floral decoration adorns this banner. Its counterpart is decorated with two coats of arms bearing two allegories of Christ, the first with the image of the Pelican and the second materializing the Lamb of God.
It is mounted on a transverse wooden pole covered with red velvet. Used condition - Fabrics frayed in several places - some missing parts - pink fabric lining.
