In Christian belief, a  saint is a holy person who lived by Jesus Christ’s teachings. As Christians, we recognize their contributions to the faith, and seek their intercession and guidance in our daily life.

On special holidays, Christians remember and celebrate the lives of these holy individuals. They attend Mass, participate in prayer services and processions, and read inspiring stories of the saints. This serves as a time to reflect on the virtues and values these saints embodied, such as love, compassion, humility, and selflessness.

Honoring Christian Saints reminds us Christians to live a life of faith and service to others. The lives of these holy individuals inspire all Christians to lead lives of holiness and devotion to God. As they continue to inspire and guide us in our spiritual journeys, we may also truly understand that the true essence of these celebrations is to honor our God and follow Jesus Christ’s teachings.

Embroidery is a perfect medium for use on banners, a true labor of love, provided there are skilled embroiderers available for the work required. But sadly, there were times when this level of devotion may not have been possible for a banner. When embroidery was not an option, banners were sometimes hand-painted like these Banners located at the Ursuline Center.
