Greetings:

I'm new here, and I have never seen that painting.

Can you tell me the story behind it?

Thank you.

Sure, it's called "Blessing of the Sword" by "Mort Kunstler" a famous Civil War Artist. The ceremony appears to be uniquely Southern where the wife or betrothed of a soldier would say a prayer of protection over the sword for it to protect it's owner and then she seals it with a kiss.

This is my understanding from history, I hope this helps you. And welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy your time here. During your next visit please introduce yourself in the welcome area so we can get to know you. Have A Dixie Day.

The newest Title Picture I'm trying out this week is of an original "Battle Flag" complete with the battles fought printed on it. The flag is from a North Carolina unit but I have not been able as yet to determine which one, obviously the unit was assigned to "The Army of Northern Virginia".
