Description
Julian is recognized as a saint & beloved by Catholics & Anglicans alike. Hermits of her time often lived in little cells attached to a church, so they could participate in the Holy Mass, & also live in seclusion & penance. Men & women who practiced this lifestyle often had a cat to help control the rodent population. & thus, St Julian is often shown with a cat at her side. Julian had visions, which she called "showings," & wrote what she learned of Christ from them. While her writings were carefully preserved, the Reformation prevented their publication in print. The Long Text was first published in 1670 by a Benedictine monk. She has recently gained popularity for these writings, & is often quoted as saying, "all shall be well; all shall be well, & all manner of thing shall be well." Words of Jesus to her in her vision. Her feast day is celebrated on May 13th. The original painting was done on paper with acrylics in a small format of about 4 by 5 inches. It has been sold. IMPORTANT Each of the sizes indicates Outside Dimensions. in the three options, there is a BORDER OF WHITE left around the image, approximately 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" all around. So, the image is SMALLER than the Paper. Signed by artist.
