Make
Your Own Votive Picture.
This
picture is a result of a notion I had: How to easily get a votive
picture of your favourite Saints?
1. Go to http://images.google.com and find some traditional
religious images.
I advise not using modern or unusual ones, for
reasons of copyright, effectiveness or they may have heretical content.
You want
something tried and tested!
2. Make an 8" x
10" picture in Gimp with layers for the different
images (or in any other image editing software, like Adobe PhotoShop or
Paintshop Pro).
3. You print it
out.
4. Then
you buy
an 8" x 10" photo frame,
gilded if you can find it.
5. Cut the
printout to 8" x 10", then insert image.
6. Then
either
hang it on the wall, or make a little altar, and put a light in front
of it; a candle, or a little electric light.
The idea
is:
- You can add in your favourite
saints
easily;
- The picture is small enough to
take with
you easily when moving;
- And, of course, the spiritual
benefits!
Here's my
effort
to date. In this picture, you have The Holy Spirit, The Sacred heart Of
Jesus, St. Padre Pio, The Virgin Of Guadalupe, The Holy Face and The
Archangel Michael. Use it if you wish. I waive all copyright,
with one exception: You can't make mocking or insulting versions of
this image. |
