Send greetings for a “Happy Easter” to family and friends with this splendid card featuring the Risen Christ amid a compass of cherubim! + At first glance, a "compass of cherubim" may seem an odd term. In the Bible (Ezekiel 1:5–11), the cherubim are described as having four faces--a lion's, an ox's, a human male's, and an eagle's-- each facing one of the cardinal points; hence, the collective noun "compass". In art, however, as here, the cherubim are most often depicted as the heads of young, curly-haired boys between a pair of wings. + Also available as the Risen Christ amid a Flutter of Butterflies (q.v.). + Image Credit (M 069): Antique image from a German devotional print in chromolithography simply titled Ostern [Easter], original publisher unknown, late 19th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.
