My mother’s family has a tradition of passing this picture down through the generations … to the oldest daughter of the family. It used to belong to my (I hope I get this right) great-grandmother’s grandmother. Which would make her my … great-great-great grandmother? Anyway, it eventually got passed down to me, since my mom’s oldest sister doesn’t have any kids.
As I am not one to argue with primogeniture (when it comes my way), I became this picture’s foster momma, at least until somebody in the family has a baby girl.
Disclaimer: I am not Catholic, nor do I speak French or Latin. Therefore, I don’t really know what this says. All the same, I am honored to host it until it gets passed on again.

beautiful when something like this keeps in the family for so long…
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. What a great picture and I know what it is to be entrusted with something as this. I too am the eldest daughter and have been entrusted with my great-grandmother’s wedding band, which is now about to go the third generation. How blessed we are! Again I thank you for sharing. God Bless, SR
