I am very grateful to God and Transalpine Redemptorist for having received the following Holy items for devotion in April…Being of Scottish descent this means a lot to me
The Bonnie Prince

The Bonnie Prince
This painting of Christ the King given the Honours of Scotland was commissioned by Father Michael Mary from the monastery island in Papa Stronsay, the Orkney Isles, in Scotland. You can visit the blog of the Transalpine Redemptorists here.
smallpax.blogspot.ca/2013/06/the-bonnie-prince.htmlThe idea was to depict the Royal Child emerging from the darkness, the mystery and the mist of the Highlands in all His beauty. As you can see in the painting, the Christ Child wears the Royal Stuart Tartan, and on His head is the crown of Scotland. He sits on the coronation stone (The Stone of Scone) which was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland. His hand is raised in blessing and as in the style of the Most Holy Redeemer, He holds the Cross on His left side. His Sacred Heart is visible - the high point of the manifestation of His Kingship. He bears the marks of His crucifixion. Around Him are the Highlands of Scotland known for its grey skies and mist, and towards the edge of the painting the Royal Scottish Standard is visible.
