Hello Friends!

This has was my Great Grandparents piece. I remember it used to hang above my grandmothers bed. it was in a closet for a long time, now it hangs above my parents bed. Can anyone translate the bottom? Does anyone have more information on this. My mother came over in 1959 on the USS America through Ellis Island. She was born in Lerte, Germany just outside Hanover, but grew up in Ponzan, Poland before coming over as a young teen.

Thanks For any information you may have!

the artwork is the "sacred heart" of jesus --a common catholic type item --the wording I can not see / read.

I was able to blow it up some and it looks like Latin . Since Italian is a "romance" language it could be that . BUT I picked out words that I could read more clearly than others and those were Latin . It also looks like those words were written in 1921 .

Looks to me as if it is signed by Benedictus PP.XV, who was pope from 1914-1922
