Joyeux Noel: New Digital Collage Sheets

Here is the last post of new digital collage sheets with vintage European Christmas cards. These are more French holiday postcards... Beautiful angels, some nativity scenes, Christmas children, and of course Santa Claus! The last sheet here is created with antique photo postcards ~ a little girl and a little angel with their vintage Christmas trees, playful children to wish you joyful NOEL, and even a romantic couple in Victorian / Edwardian dress.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed creating them! And I hope you'll go see these and all of my Christmas / Winter / and New Year images and digital collage sheets at Lunagirl.com.

Vintage European Christmas Cards, New!

Continuing to share the new digital collage sheets I've created using vintage Christmas cards I've collected. Most of what I have are French and German, but here are some from other countries. Dutch Santa Claus on a snowy night, Czech holiday cards featuring sweet angels and children, Scandinavian Christmas cards with greetings in Danish and Swedish, and serene vintage Christmas greetings in Italian (with mostly religious themes).   Available for download at Lunagirl.com.

Vive Saint Nicolas!

And here are two more new digital collage sheets created with vintage Christmas cards from Europe. These celebrate Saint Nick... The first is all vintage French postcards depicting St. Nicolas in the colorful coat and "Santa Claus hat" ... the second collage sheet is created with two French cards and two Dutch cards, each greeting St. Nicolas / St. Nikolaas in his traditional bishop's hat and religious robes. More to come! Find everything at Lunagirl.com :-)

The Three Magi and Twelfth Night

In celebration of the Feast of the Epiphany, traditionally celebrated on January 6 (or the preceding Sunday), here is a lovely pre-Raphaelite painting by Burne-Jones showing the adoration of the magi. In many countries Christmas greenery is taken down on January 6 which is the Twelfth Day of Christmas. We always took our Christmas tree down at Epiphany. The time between Epiphany and Lent is the King's Cake season culminating in Mardi Gras! more pre-raphaelite art

The Birthday of Mary

In honor of the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary...

a beautiful holy card from our Victorian Religious Ephemera collection.

In the apocryphal Gospel of James from the 2nd Century AD, the names of Mary's parents are Joachim and Anna. St. Anne is traditionally honored as the mother of Mary (and the grandmother of Jesus). The Feast Day of Mary's birth (exactly nine months after the Immaculate Conception on December 8) probably began in 5th Century Jerusalem and has been widely celebrated since at least the 8th Century. There is also an apocryphal Gospel of the Nativity of Mary, translated from the Hebrew by St. Jerome in the 4th Century, in which an angel visits Anne to tell her of the birth of a daughter, Mary.

Ann (Anna) is the oldest name still used in the west, already an ancient name when used by the Hebrews. It is usually translated as "grace," but the original meaning is something difficult to translate, closer to "goddess." I believe I once read that it is the oldest name ever found for divinity. How appropriate that in Christianity this is the name is given to the grandmother of God.
