Treasure of Guarrazar, votive crown

In 1977, the Vignelli designed “a total design concept” for Saint Peter’s Churchin Manhattan. They designed the interiors, the silver pieces for the altar, and the graphics for the church.

The pyx, a liturgical object used to carry the Host (or Eucharistic wafer) was the precedent to the monstrance and more specifically Ostensorium reliquaries. Because this work contains no rock crystal, or any clear elements it does not qualify as a monstrance. However, comparing this object to other Ostensorium, one can see the similarities in shape and theme (particularly that of the resurrection).

Applying for a research grant to work on a project about the rosary this summer!
