This vintage postcard features a detailed illustration by Florence A. Kroger of the three virgin martyrs—Faith, Hope, and Charity—patron saints of the chapel at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. The painting shows the ancient Aurelian Way and Wall in the upper left, with the rolling countryside and Sabine Mountains in the background, connecting the saints to their historic resting place. Tradition holds that they suffered and died for their faith under Emperor Hadrian in the second century, and their feast day is celebrated on August 1st.
Published by C. Harrison Conroy of New York, this postcard combines historical and religious artistry, making it a meaningful collectible for admirers of sacred art, Catholic heritage, and vintage New York memorabilia.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
