NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) 15 Cm Square Badge

NeoGothic St. Cecilia of Rome (detail; BNG 02) 15 Cm Square Badge

In this detail from a splendid NeoGothic Swiss devotional print, St. Cecilia of Rome (3rd century) is depicted playing an upright pipe organ against an aqua background patterned with gold dots and stars. Her long auburn hair hangs loose and tumbles over her shoulders and down her back. She wears a mediaeval-style, cream-coloured gown lined in green over a dark red-orange kirtle. The gown has a square neckline and bell sleeves. + Despite her private vow of virginity, St. Cecilia was forced into an arranged marriage with a pagan named Valerian. During the festivities, it is said, St. Cecilia “sang in her heart to the Lord” instead of revelling; hence, her patronage of musicians (especially organists) and singers The marriage was never consummated. The long and the short of it is that her new husband, having seen an apparition of the angel that guarded his wife’s virtue, converted to Christianity and respected her vow. + Epilog: St. Cecilia, her husband St. Valerian, and her brother-in-law St. Tiburtius were all martyred. But, that’s a story for another day! + Feast: November 22 + Image Credit (BNG 02): Detail of an antique NeoGothic image of St. Cecilia, originally published in chromolithography by Benziger & Co., Einsiedeln, Switzerland, late 19th-early 20th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.
