About This Design

St. Louis IX (Detail; ‘Medallion’ Only; BK 065)

St. Louis IX (Detail; ‘Medallion’ Only; BK 065)

Through the efforts of St. Louis IX, King of France, the Crown of Thorns believed to have been worn by Christ during His Passion came to Paris from Constantinople via the Venetians. Arriving at the coastal town of Sens, the Crown was received by the awestruck French monarch with great reverence and was later installed with solemn ceremonies in Notre Dame in a chapel St. Louis built especially to house it. + In this depiction, a haloed St. Louis wears his own golden crown and an ermine-lined mantle in dark aqua that is decorated with gold fleur de lis. Head bowed, he reverently carries the Crown of Thorns on a plump red cushion. The Crown itself emits spiked rays of light. The scene, confined in a ‘medallion’ or circular decorative device, takes place against a generic background of entwined swirls. + Epilog: Miraculously some would say, the Crown of Thorns survived both the French Revolution and the recent fire at Notre Dame on Monday, 15 April 2019. + Feast of St. Louis the King: August 25 + Image Credit (BK 065): Detail from an antique devotional print of St. Louis IX the King originally published by B. Kühlen, Mönchengladbach, Germany, late 19th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

The cards were perfect, the quality and durability couldn't be any better. I have an envelope size which is glossy and a pearlized business card size which is slightly wider than a business card. The timing received was perfect although a bit costly, not do to zazzles fault. When I originally designed this product, Imade an error in the original photo and they red flagged it for me and emailed me about it. They immediately responded to my questions about it, understood and immediately gave me a refund. Very polite kind customer service. The printing came out perfect.

I really loved the quality of this product. Beautifully made and the choices were great. The first batch I ordered 75. I did find about four blank ones in the bunch but other than that I was very pleased. I went back and put on a second order. That order was complete. I love that they come with envelope as well. I was be vet pleased with my purchase. The photo was perfect, the colors of the cards matched well with the photo.
