    • My son's Marian prie dieu. Our Lady of Guadalupe in the background is a photograph mosaic picture, used to create the image of Our Blessed Mother. The photos used are different stages of our sacramental life, the interior and exterior of our church, and the boys serving on the altar. Literally hundreds of picture used to create the image.

    • I had this prie dieu made. The builder did not have the carving skills he claimed, but it has grown on me. It's made of solid white oak, and has a medium hand rubbed stain.

    • I rescued this kneeler from Belgium. It is from the late 1800's and the carving is remarkable. The hinged top and kneeler pad, was covered in a baby blue vinyl when I purchased the piece. I guess the "spirit" of Vatican II left no stone unturned. :sad: I removed the vinyl, and found fabric that is more fitting for the piece. IMHO Then I applied a hand rubbed dark walnut penetrating oil and the kneeler was brought back to its original glory.

    • Where does one get these kneeelers?

    Not Amazon...so...where online?

    Local antique stores (local to me) never have anything of the sort, so don't tell me I'll find them there... :)

    • I had this double kneeler built for my wife and I, and I hope to see it used in family weddings. I used spanish cedar, and used a hand rubbed penetrating oil to give it depth. It has a shelf for prayer books and a matching shelf that we use for our home shrine. The cushion is burgundy, and attached with antique brass tacks. I am going to put one on ebay, to help pay for the prie dieu i've wanted to have built for 7 years.

    Hello Iuvenalis,

    Ebay has them all the time, and I can tell you which one's have been on there for years. If you happen to see one you like, and interest's you, let me know. You may be able to get it at a big discount. Another place is andythorton.com. They are overseas, and the shipping is more than most of the kneelers in some cases. The one I rescued from Belgium came from there, and they were a pair. I wanted the pair, but it was out of my price range.

     The idea for the one I am having built came from a company here in the USA. I have searched on and off for years. Hand's down kingrichards.com is the best place you will find. They can actually build the one I want cheaper, but the craftsman I'm using is considered the best woodcarver in the U.S..  I live in Virginia so having one built in Georgia causes a few concerns. One is wood movement because of the climate. Let me know if I can be of further assistance

    I love those prie dieu's, Tarpeian. Have you seen this thread on home altars:  http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=17931&min=0&num=5

    There's another one which I haven't located yet. Will post it if I find it.

    • This is the thread I started recently:

    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine
