St. Cecilia of Rome (SNV 36) Button

In this splendid image, St. Cecilia (3rd century) is seated at a pipe organ; an angel, serving as calcant, works its bellows. A scroll in Latin between the two figures reads: “+Cantate Domino et benedicite nomini ejus” which translates “+Sing to the Lord and bless His name (Psalm 95:2)”. + Image Credit (SNV 36): Antique image of St. Cecilia of Rome from a late nineteenth-century devotional print, artwork by J.
