Sacred Art & Super Cheap

[@gabiafterhours]

My friends! Can you believe it!?! 2 videos in 2 weeks! I promise a lot more videos are coming. On my website I am going to have a section dedicated to images. There you will be able to download some of the images I showed here. The icon of Jesus with the blue background will also be available for your personal use. Believe it or not... I created that myself. God bless you all and thank you for your support. Ave Maria!

Hey Gabi during the last upload you asked me to pray for you and yes I offered you in the Holy Mass the very next day and now I'm happy to see that you have uploaded 2 videos in a week. Great work Gabi. God bless

Joe Nicosia (who prays Rosary Night in America most nights live on Facebook and then put out on You Tube) has painted Our Lady live on You Tube. I watched as a shiny, silver/goldy sheen appeared around the holy mother's eye and cheek and Joe didn't know where it came from. He has drawn some beautiful pictures which he uses as a focus on screen in the rosary. He is selling good quality prints of his pictures now. Look under Rosary Night in America.

[@sarahbreeding6156]

Ave Maria!!! Thank you for the video! It's so true that when you surround yourself with holy images you are bound to pray more, to love more, and even to sacrifice more. When my alarm goes off, I get up and see the Sacred Heart and rather than going back to bed I can say, "For love of you Jesus I will wake!" My room is like a lil monastery. My friends and family tease me. But, praise the Lord! They know who I'm in love with! Your video is a beautiful encouragement.

[@skylergroen]

Monestary Icons should be avoided because of the uncertain ownership and claims of being Catholic when once was Orthodox and once had icons of Buddha (from Orthodox sources)

[@gabiafterhours]

I think that might be calumny. I personally don't believe that an entire company spends time making religious images simply to curse people? I don't believe it. If somebody were to make the same claim about me for example... how could I prove to you I am not a Satanist? I spend my time making holy images in a way... what other proof do I need. Go take a look at their website and ask are they doing a good job of promoting Satan? Seriously... a tree should be judged by its fruit. Even if it was true and I don't believe it is... . I eat Chinese food regardless if a Buddhist person prepared it. I bless all of my food and I get all my images blessed. I hope that makes sense.

[@theresemartin3075]

Just an idea of what I have done...if I have a picture, or a beautiful Christmas card or Holy Card.... - I go to Michael's, Joann's, etc and buy a precut piece of wood, or an unfinished box, etc -paint wood your color choice - mix half glue half water and using a paint brush or foam applicator apply on backside of picture and affix to wood...let dry 24 hours -apply Modge Podge (matte or glossy) several times ..letting it dry completely between applications..You get a better finish using a wide foam applicator rather than a pain brush. You are ready to enjoy or give as a lovely holy reminder! Thank you for the websites..I am anxious to explore them ...especially the murals!! God bless you and your family!

Hey I loved this video. Just be careful with monistary icons. They have a shady history. If you do buy anything from them always bless it

[@putodango]

Yeah. I heard they are Hindus/Pagans and not Christians.

[@zealousideal]

Yes they are. I stopped buying from them. But for icons you already have from them as long as you have them blessed. It’s unfortunate because I loved the look and prices of them.

[@martaacosta4415]

I love religious art, so much so that I paint images of saints, Our Lord, Our Lady in many of Her apparitions, the Sacred Heart, the Immaculate Heart, rosaries, and so on. I’ve sold a few, given many away, and kept many also because I don’t know what to do with them , except of course put them up in my own home. I paint on furniture (dressers, chair backs, wooden boxes, table tops, etc) or canvas or anything that presents a clean surface. Besides painting I’m also a dedicated Roman Catholic. I love the holy Mass and all the devotions. Living in the 21st century is a bit difficult because church buildings often lack the traditional religious art I love. But, whatever, I make the best of it because I love the Holy Trinity and our Holy Blessed Mother! I fill my home with the images, candles, music, and incense I love. Although all of my children have their own homes & families, I still have to tone it down a little for my husband’s sake. But he understands. My point in rambling on? Live the way you believe; live like an old- time Catholic. Wear the veil (if female). No meat on Fridays. Rosary every day. God love you.

[@lorimav]

That was very useful. Your home is inspiring. May I suggest Etsy and Peter's Square as well? I am very fussy about my religious images. I prefer the image of a masculine yet loving Lord and holiness is often difficult to capture in an image. I searched all of the major catalogues and spent time looking at what was available for sale on ebay. I found my Sacred and Immaculate Heart images on Etsy. Mine was once a gift given by a lady to her family. Often I will look up at these two pictures and thank God that I was able to find them. Etsy and Peter's Square also have Catholic artisans that have small out of the home businesses. Besides images of the Lord, Our Lady and the saints, one could have a vinyl or a plaque made of inspirational scripture phrases or phrases of the saints?

[@gabiafterhours]

I LOVE ETSY! Great suggestion. You can find some great stuff from at home artists. Love it! Great idea about the quotes. I have one on my desk that says "Abandon yourself into the hands of Mary. She will take care of you." - Padre Pio

[@jamesthecrusader17]

Sir, Monastary Icons need to be extremely blessed if you buy them. The company which you purchased it from is EXTREMELY Pagan and Hindu. They use Pagan blessings on it, and if you are to buy Icons, buy them from legacy icons. There are responses from Orthodox Priests against them, and that no Church will suggest that type of icons.

[@zealousideal]

Gabi… nice video. But I’d stay away from Monastery Icons. I use to order from them and liked them (and they are cheap) but they have a shady controversial background. They are known to pray and consecrate the icons to their eastern Hindu religions. But for people that already have them, as long as you have them blessed by a priest, then it should be ok. Technically icons should always be blessed by a priest anyway. Which brings up another good point, we need to be careful and learn the background of where we purchase Catholic art or icons from. I’ve even known of witches or satanists that sell Christian art or paraphernalia but put spells and curses on them to sell to unsuspecting Christians. But in the very least, as long as we are wise and careful and have everything blessed. The Spiritual warfare is very real. But always love your content, you are one of my favorites. 👏🏽 🙏🏽 ✝️
