The Venerable Bede Preaching (P 008) Magnet

The Venerable Bede Preaching (P 008) Magnet

Servant of God, Venerable, Blessed, Saint-- in the modern process of canonization, a candidate for sainthood rises through the ranks. However, the epithet ‘Venerable’ given to St. Bede has less to do with process than with the esteem with which he was regarded by his near contemporaries. Born in 672 or 673 of a noble house in North East England, Bede, whose name in Old English may mean ‘prayer’, was sent to the Benedictine monastery of St. Peter at Monkwearmouth at the age of seven to be educated perhaps in preparation for the religious life. Though Bede moved to St. Paul’s at Jarrow, the second house of the double monastery, he never left the Benedictine life. At Jarrow, he lived out his days as a priest in prayer, in study, and, above all, at writing. He died of natural causes in 735. + Today, Bede is best known for his Ecclesiastical History of the English People which has earned him the title of ‘Father of English History.’ However, he was a polymath. A skilled linguist and translator, he made the writings of the Early Church Fathers accessible in English. He wrote Chronicles, Biblical commentaries, lives of the saints, grammars, and homilies. His interest in computus (the dating of historical and ecclesiastical events especially Easter) popularized the B.C./A.D. system still in use today. He even wrote poetry in both Latin and vernacular English. For his body of theological works, Bede was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1899, the only native-born Englishman to hold the title. + The image here is a simple one: Garbed in the loose, cowled, Benedictine habit with its typically long, wide sleeves, a bald and gray-bearded Bede raises his right hand in a speaking gesture and holds an open book from which he preaches in his left. + St. Bede the Venerable is patron of lectors. + Feast: May 25 + Image Credit (P 008): Antique image of S[t] Bede. The Venerable. C[onfessor] from a late 19th-century devotional print in chromoxylography, originally published by Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg, New York, and Cincinnati. From the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

My friend loves her daughter-in-law and I wanted her to have a magnet of the two of them together to put on her fridge. The picture was so clear and made so well. I'm sure they both loved it!

This is a very small refrigerator magnet (with artwork and text to be provided, and arranged using the ZAZZLE web site software, by the customer), and I would like to have a larger size. I ordered a quantity of eight refrigerator magnets. I think that they should have been individually packaged in order to prevent one item from scratching the other during transit. However, none of the items appeared upon arrival to have been scratched. The magnetic force is adequate to hold two sheets of good-quality bond paper securely against a refrigerator or metal filing cabinet, with one sheet in front of the other. I think that the durability of the refrigerator magnets is adequate—I have handled the magnets, and attached them to, and detached them from, a refrigerator while exercising reasonable care, and have encountered no failures. I see no evidence of demagnetization (i.e., loss of magnet strength). I am very pleased with these refrigerator magnets, as are the people to whom I have given them as small and inexpensive gifts. I recommend these refrigerator magnets, and would not hesitate to purchase them again in the future. One always feels very fortunate when one receives a purchased item, and finds it to be as good-looking as on the merchant’s web site. I was not disappointed in any way—I am delighted with the image and text resolution (sharpness and clarity) and the beauty and fidelity of the colors (hues and saturation). The refrigerator magnet is assembled from two parts: (1) The magnet, and (2) a relatively thin metal shell upon which the images and text are printed. The metal shell initially has a square shape, but then wedges of metal are cut away at each of the four corners, so that the shape of the metal shell then resembles a cross, with four short, stocky fingers. The images and text are then printed onto the metal shell with great clarity, because the entire metal shell is perfectly planar at this stage of the manufacturing process. Any portions of the images or text which happen to extend into the fingers will have the same clarity as at the middle of the cross. Then the fingers are folded around the magnet to complete the assembly of the refrigerator magnet. When I created my design, I crowded text very close to the upper and lower edges of the design boundaries, so that the text did indeed extend somewhat onto the fingers as the design was being printed, causing some portions of the text to wrap around the upper and lower edges of the completed refrigerator magnet when the final assembly was performed. This looks okay to me, because the text is still easily readable.
