About This Design

St. Peter Claver (BK 058) Ceramic Ornament

St. Peter Claver (BK 058) Ceramic Ornament

St. Peter Claver (1580-1654) was a Spanish Jesuit priest and missionary. In 1610, St. Peter volunteered to serve in the New Kingdom of Granada in the Americas, which encompassed present-day Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela. There he worked for forty years ministering to slaves upon their arrival at Cartagena, a major hub in the Transatlantic slave trade, and on the plantations in the neighbouring countryside. His tireless efforts not only to convert the slaves to Catholicism by preaching Christ crucified but to ameliorate their sufferings earned him the epithet “Slave of the Africans”. + Here St. Peter is shown clad in Jesuit garb—a black cassock and collared cape. He holds a simple brown wooden cross and a crown of thorns, symbols of Jesus as “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3). The image is enclosed in an inner frame reminiscent of a Gothic eight-petalled rose (or wheel) window; the corners of the simple, square outer frame are filled with heraldic thistles. + St. Peter Claver died on 8 September 1654 of natural causes after a long illness. He is patron saint of Inter-racial justice, African Americans, African missions, slaves, and the Republic of Colombia. + Feast: September 9 + Image Credit (BK 058): Antique image of S[aint] Petrus [Peter] Claver, S.J., originally published in chromolithography by B. Kühlen, Mönchengladbach, Germany, unnumbered Jesuit Series, late 19th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

Christmas decorations were perfect photos were really clear although the font turned out to be very small I'd recommend it be made bigger. Although for a .com.au website I understood the product would be made in Australia turns out it was made and sent from Ireland. I wouldn't order again for this reason. Very clear photos, colours were perfect, the font was too small it didn't look this small in the preview so this was a little disappointing.

So happy. Good quality ceramic and arrived in time to gift and I selected the slow postage, so very impressed. Printing quality is great and clear. Colours are exact to the artwork and saturation good. Very happy.
