8x8” Sacred Plaque – “O Espírito e a Esposa dizem: Vem, Senhor Jesus”

Inspired by one of the most meaningful inscriptions found in the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, this handcrafted 8x8 inch devotional plaque carries a message of faith, hope, and spiritual longing.

The phrase is intentionally written in Portuguese, exactly as it appears in the Basilica, preserving its original spiritual and cultural significance:

“O Espírito e a Esposa dizem: Vem, Senhor Jesus”
Translation: “The Spirit and the Bride say: Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:17)

This biblical verse, found in the final chapter of Revelation, expresses a longing for divine presence, renewal, and hope. It serves as a spiritual invitation — a call of faith that has inspired pilgrims for generations.

Inside the Basilica, this inscription surrounds the sacred niche that houses the original image of Our Lady of Aparecida and forms part of the artistic and devotional design created to welcome pilgrims into contemplation and prayer. The phrase is located around the Our Lady of Aparecida Niche (Trono/Nicho de Nossa Senhora Aparecida), one of the most symbolic and beloved spaces inside the shrine.

Measuring approximately 8 x 8 inches, this plaque is designed to beautifully complement a prayer corner, home altar, shelf, or sacred space, bringing warmth and spiritual meaning into your home.

More than décor, this plaque is a meaningful devotional piece — created to bring beauty, comfort, and spiritual inspiration into your home, prayer corner, or sacred space. Handcrafted with care, it honors a message of faith that continues to touch millions of hearts.
