Product Description
This is our exquisite Pope Saint Sylvester of Rome Plaque. Pope Sylvester I (died December 31, 335) was Pope during the years 314-335, an important era in the history of the Catholic Church. During his pontificate Constantine built some of Rome’s great churches: the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, Old St. Peter’s Basilica, and several churches over the tombs and graves of the martyrs. (Constantine the Great and his mother, St. Helena, are depicted on the top right corner of this plaque.) Pope Sylvester (or Silvester) did not personally attend the First Council of Nicaea in 325. But his two legates, Vitus and Vincentius (on the bottom left of this plaque), did represent him there and approve the Council’s decrees. This plaque is a great gift for a birthday, baptism, confirmation, first communion, ordination, Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
