Divine Mercy Sunday is exactly one month away!
Is your store ready?
Thanks in part to the many Catholic apologists and prominent priests that have aggressively promoted the Divine Mercy devotion over the past several years, Catholic store customers have never been more ready to purchase Divine Mercy Art.
Whether these customers come to your store to do research for Father and the parish council with the goal of purchasing a church-sized large canvas, or they are simply looking to buy a small print to venerate and pray under in their own homes, the Catholic store that is ready to serve these customers will unlock new, loyal customers with money to spend.
Win the day over competition from deep-discount ecommerce retailers, "made in china" knockoffs, and aggressive religious order retailers by offering your Divine Mercy shoppers the finest, largest selection of USA-made Divine Mercy art and gifts in the Marketplace.
This year, Nelson Fine Art & Gifts of Steubenville has greatly expanded our already impressive selection of Divine Mercy Art with two critical pieces:

The Vilnius Original Divine Mercy |
|
Reproduced from the Lithuanian original, this is the very image commissioned by St. Faustina Kowalska's own spiritual director.
It is said that, when Sr. Faustina came to view the direction and progress of the painting, she wept over how poorly conveyed Jesus' beauty was in comparison with the visions she had experienced. Our Lord assured her in subsequent visions that it was not in the artist's brush that the power of this image would be evident, but in the work it would do within the souls of those who venerated it.
Notable among Divine Mercy images for being the most faithful to St. Faustina's visions in a variety of ways, this image has experienced a renaissance of sorts in recent years, and may indeed overtake the "Hyla" image as the most popular Divine Mercy depiction in the United States today.

A beautiful iconic-style representation of the Divine Mercy devotion, the King of Mercy was first produced by Nelson Fine Art & Gifts in cooperation with Ignatius Press many years ago, and has been one of the more popular "special requests" Nelson has received in recent years for large-scale reproductions.
With vivid colors and a touch of modern influence, this icon-style representation is unique for its inclusion of the stars and angels surrounding Christ and His rays of mercy. |

You may remember that, as small framed prints, each of these fine depictions was previously available from Nelson since 2008 (in the case of King of Mercy, only one size!), but now that Nelson has expanded into canvas and large-scale reproductions of each image, the Vilnius and King of Mercy are poised to become the new favorites in the Divine Mercy marketplace.
For this coming Divine Mercy Sunday, as well as the remainder of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Nelson Fine Art & Gifts is the premiere supplier of faithful, American-made Catholic images of the Divine Mercy devotion.
We will never undercut our stores and sell at wholesale to the general public.
We will not compromise our quality and move production away from Steubenville to China.
We will never criticize your business for not being a true art "ministry."
We will serve your drop shipment customers with confidentiality and integrity.
