Basic Unframed Sizes
Proportional Sizes
Proportional sizes closely match the proportions of the original image. Most will not fit into standard-size frames, and must be custom framed either here, or at your local frame shop.

These sizes will fit into less expensive ready-made frames. The background for these images has been widened to fit these frames. You buy the frame locally but still must get the canvas stretched.

  Features

Images: Because many of our Images are Sacred Images, they are usually blessed with Holy Water by the customer's priest. Because of this, we have worked hard to provide you with a totally waterproof Image. Once blessed, however, do not wipe the Image; allow it to dry naturally in an upright position. It is also best to bless the Image in the colored areas rather than the black background. Keep this and all Images away from direct sunlight. Dust with light feather brush or compressed air. Our inks are archival quality and will give decades of use.


Frames: Your Images are all assembled by hand in our frameshop. We take great care to ensure every Image is professionally done and increases the beauty of the Image it frames.

  Shipping Information

Please allow 1-2 weeks for unframed Images, and 2-3 weeks for framed Images. We usually ship either DHL Ground or US Postal Service.

Damage: If there is damage to the package, please take some photos of the box and Image and hold onto the box so the shipping company can inspect the damage. We will send you a new Image as soon as possible. You're help in this matter is very much appreciated. Damage is rare (only 5 packages in 4 years).


Shipping costs are computed at checkout once your order is finalized.

  History of This Image

The Vilnius Image of Jesus was painted by Eugene Kazimirowski in Vilnius (presently, Lithuania) in 1934 under the direction of St. Faustina. It was venerated publicly for the first time on April 26, 1935, during the closing celebration of the Jubilee of Redemption at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Dawn Gate. (See "Our Lady of Mercy" in the Blessed Mother section of this webstore).


In 1937 the image was placed in St. Michael’s Church, and it remained there until 1948 when the church was closed by the Communist government. A journey of hiding then took place until 1956, when it was enshrined in the Church in Nova Ruda (Belarus). There it remained until 1986 in spite of the fact that the church was closed in 1970 and provided a very poor physical environment for the painting. In 1986 the image was secretly removed again and brought to the Holy Spirit Church in Vilnius, Lithuania. In 1991, on account of damages sustained, the painting was retouched by a local artist, but the face lost its original appearance in the process. Under the guidance of Cardinal Backis the Image was professionally restored in May, 2003, and for the time being it will continue to be venerated in Holy Spirit Church, Vilnius.
