Paternosters |
|
|
|
The paternosters on this page are not intended to be exact replicas of the pieces featured in the paintings on the What is a Paternoster page or any other historical examples. They were, however, inspired by those examples. As the name implies, a paternoster is said by simply repeating the Our Father prayer (or 'Pater Noster' in Latin). You can, however, say any prayer you like! Each piece is one of a kind. |
