This is a darling set for Mom and daughter to aid them in praying. Included are two pocket oratories (one large and one tiny) as well as a Rosary case (Rosary not included). The oratories will have a crucifixion icon in the middle, as well as images of the Blessed Mother and Jesus. There is also a medal crucifix plus a prayer on the large oratory.
The pieces are made of linen, wool felt and printed images/icons/prayers.
The pocket oratory was made popular in the 1800's as a type of traveling altar. It was used much as shops they are today, by workers and travelers who may not be close to a Church when they'd like to pray.
There is significance of the position of each item. I worked closely with iconographer David Clayton, who has given me the following information: As Christ on the Cross is the center of our Faith, so the crucifix is the center of the oratory. To the right should be a picture of Christ glorified or the Holy Face of Jesus. To the left should be an image of Our Lady. These three images are the heart of every pocket oratory.
