St. Cecilia was born in the 2nd century of a wealthy and noble Roman family. At a very early age, Cecilia had taken a vow of virginity, though her parents obliged her to marry a nobleman named Valerian.

This drawing was commissioned as a wedding gift for a couple, whose wedding was on the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, August 22nd. It is based on and inspired by traditional, black and white intricate lithographs found in the Old Roman Missal.

This painting of the Holy Family captures a serene yet dignified moment in the life and union of Mary, St. Joseph, and the Child Jesus....
