Scope and content
The sepia-coloured image with a touch of gold depicts the Italian St. Angela Merici, who founded the Company of St. Ursula in 1535 in Brescia, in which women dedicated their lives to the service of the Church through the education of girls. In the same year, Merici founded the Congregation of the Ursoline Sisters, who up till this very day, take care of orphans, abandoned children and childrens with problems at their home. In this image, the saint is seen surrounded with white lilies, symbolising purity and a host of angels in heaven surrounding the image of St Ursola. The picture is a memento of the celebrations held in Malta on the fiftieth anniversary of the canonical erection of the Company of St Ursola founded in Malta by the issuance of a decree by Bishop X. Xicluna on 30 May 1884. The Company of St Ursola was approved by Pope Paul II through the issuance of a Bull on 9 June 1544.
