Pentecost: Descent of the Holy Spirit (SB 01) Banner
Pentecost is the moveable Christian feast that is celebrated fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday and ten days after He ascended into Heaven on Ascension Thursday. Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles as well as other followers of Jesus who were gathered together in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Weeks, a Jewish holiday. Acts 2:1-31 recounts the event in detail. + In this Florentine fresco by Blessed Fra Angelico (1395-1455), the event takes place in the starkly bare and dark Upper Room or Cenacle where the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper took place. In the centre is Mary, the Blessed Virgin, dressed in sky blue. She is surrounded by the remaining eleven Apostles--Judas Iscariot having hung himself—who are garbed in colourful robes in mostly clear bright pastels—pinkish reds and sky blues, oranges and yellows, and dark greens. An angel on the extreme right directs the view of one of the Apostles—and us, too—to the descending Holy Spirit in the guise of a dove in the empty space above the BVM’s head. Another male figure--perhaps Matthias, Judas’s replacement—who is barely visible to the angel’s right looks in on the scene from the doorway. Tongues of flame appear above the crown of everyone’s head. The flames are a tangible manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s gifts and a symbol of the missionary zeal with which Jesus’s followers were imbued. Pentecost fulfilled the prediction made by St. John the Baptist that Christ would baptise his followers with the Holy Spirit and with fire (Matthew 3:11). + In the United Kingdom, Pentecost is termed “White Sunday”, “Whitsunday”, or “Whitsun”. + Image Credit (SB 01): Descent of the Holy Spirit by Fra Angelico (1395-1455) from an antique divided-back postcard originally published between 1907 and 1915 by E. Sborgi, Florence, Italy, from the designer’s collection of religious ephemera.

I needed a banner to advertise my small craft business. It was really easy to design it, to change colour, to add my logo and personalise it.
The delivery was earlier that expected.
I am impressed by the quality of the banner, it's coated and waterproof, it looks professional well finished, exactly what I was looking for.
I am really pleased with my purchase and I recommend it . The design I created including my logo and the facebook/instagram icons look clear, in focus. Unfortunately, surely because I magnified my logo, a few pixels turned pink instead of black when you look very closely (see the leaves in the logo).
It won't be an issue for me because it's not made to be seen so closely, it's more to be seen from a distance. All in all, I am pleased with the outcome.
