Gloria, laus et honor tibi sit, Rex Christe, Redemptor.

A certain man made a great meal and sent his slave at the hour of the meal to tell the invited ones, that they might come: because all things are ready.

The Santinhos or Registos are devotional prints that represent an important expression of popular religious practice in Portugal. Originally derived from the miniatures or illuminations found in medieval manuscripts, these images—typically depicting God, Our Lady, and the saints—were cut out from worn pages and repurposed as devotional objects. With the advent of the printing press in the 15th century, it became possible to produce these registos on paper using techniques such as woodcut, engraving, and lithography, thus enabling their widespread distribution at an affordable price.
These objects of devotion not only served to adorn homes and shrines but also functioned as protective symbols and markers of significant life events (such as baptisms, first communions, and other religious ceremonies), as well as accompanying festivities and pilgrimages. Over the centuries, the registos have maintained their essentially devotional character, while today they also boast a strong decorative appeal, blending traditional techniques and materials with more contemporary designs.

Witaj Jutrzenko rano powstająca,
Śliczna jak miesiąc, jak słońce świecąca!
Ty świecisz w miłej światu Częstochowie,
Gdzie czołem biją świata monarchowie.
