The image depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus protecting over the Basilica of St Peter's and its square filled with pilgrims. At the background, there is depicted Calvary Hill (which is in Israel) with the three bodies Crucified - Jesus Christ and the two theives, one on each side. At the bottom of the image, on the left hand side, one finds a portrait of Pope Pius XI together with a picture of his insigna, under whose reign the Jubilee Year was celebrated. This round image is decorated with wheat and grapes, the symbols of the Holy Eucharist. Overleaf, one finds that this image is a memento of the Solemn Profession by Fr Paolo G. Galea of the Order of Preachers, i.e. a Domenican priest at Rabat.
