St. Melania the Elder - Desert Mother Canvas Print

One of the wealthiest women in the Roman world — and she spent it all on monks, prisoners, and pilgrims. St. Melania the Elder, widowed young, sailed for the desert, funded the persecuted Church through exiles and famines, and founded a double monastery on the Mount of Olives. The desert fathers wrote of her with awe; her granddaughter followed her into sanctity. From our Desert Mothers series.

The details

• Gallery-wrapped canvas, museum-quality and fade-resistant, with finished edges
• Arrives ready to hang — no framing needed
• Offered in many sizes, from a small bedside icon to a presence that fills a wall
• Made to order with care in the USA

For generous women of means — a patroness who knew exactly what money is for.

St. Melania the Elder — pray for us.
