Faith, Hope and Charity are the three theological virtues, and this print pairs them on a banner draped across a cross wreathed in flowers, with cherubs adding a tender, decorative note. Images like this were popular in Christian devotional art, especially in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when printed cards, cross-stitch patterns and mourning and memorial pieces often combined floral motifs with scriptural text. The banner phrase comes from 1 Corinthians 13:13, where Paul names faith, hope and love as the abiding virtues, with love (charity) the greatest. Notice how the flowers soften the cross's associations with suffering, turning it into a symbol of consolation.
