Celebration Banners on the Institute’s Façade, between 1926 and 1956

Black and white photograph of a large Beaux-Arts style building. Its facade is decorated with banners attached to its columns. The banners read: Lord, if you will, you can heal me. Lord, just say the word and I will be healed. The one you love is sick. Salutaris hostia.

Archives des Sœurs Grises de Montréal, between 1926-1956

Front view of the Radium Institute in Maisonneuve. Banners adorning the front of the building are reminiscent of the end of May celebrations of Corpus Christi, which may indicate that this is when this photograph was taken. Among the prayers written on the banners is the Latin phrase “Salutaris hostia” (save [or offer salvation to] the victim).
