Looking for a unique Vatican Souvenir?
Our Vatican ornament is perfect to add a bit of your cherished memories to your home.
Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica is the burial site of Saint Peter, one of Jesus’s Apostles and also the first Pope. Saint Peter’s tomb is supposedly directly below the high altar of the Basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St. Peter’s since the Early Christian period, and there has been a church on this site since the time of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica, which would replace Old St. Peter’s Basilica from the 4th century CE, began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.
Each Vatican Christmas ornament is engraved in our South Carolina studio with an attention to detail that you can only find at Palmetto Engraving. Whether you are looking for a unique gift topper or a handcrafted decoration for the holiday season, this ornament will be cherished forever.
