PIUS
X, Pope and Saint (Giuseppe Sarto)
DS – A small steel engraved calling card as Cardinal-Patriarch
of Venice, on which the pope-saint has penned “C.P.”

in his handwriting. Both items have been professionally matted in
moiré white silk board along with an attractive photo-image
of the pontiff as well as a commemorative brass plaque. Encased
in museum conservation glass and a beautiful gilt-wood frame. Ordained in 1858; consecrated Bishop of Mantua (1884); named cardinal and Patriarch of Venice (1893); elected pope in 1903. Pius X was a champion of social reforms. He also reformed the liturgy, re-codified canon law, and was canonized in 1954. His Feast day is August 21st. |
