O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Detail) Advent Square Sticker

Detail of a charming, vintage image of the Christ Child personally delivering a candle-lit Christmas tree to a home that has prepared for His coming. Here, Jesus, seated upon His straw-filled manger, wears a white robe decorated with a gold cross and stars. At the center of the cross on His chest is a quatrefoil containing the IHS, one of several Greek monograms for His name. He raises His right hand in blessing and holds the Christmas tree upright in His left. Perfect for Advent! + Image Credit: Detail of “Gloria in excelsis Deo,” devotional print in gilt chromolithography, late 19th-early 20th century, original publisher (perhaps German) unknown, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.
