Sunday Missal with Vespers (c. 1925) – Keizersberg Abbey Leuven – Vintage Liturgical Book

An interwar “Sunday Missal with Vespers”, published by Keizersberg Abbey in Leuven and printed by Desclée De Brouwer in Bruges.

This liturgical book served as a guide for Sunday mass and the ecclesiastical year, including vespers and special services. The edition features decorative woodcut-like illustrations and classic red and black liturgical printing.

Inside are original personal documents, including a church ticket from Amsterdam (15 cents) and a novena prayer – tangible traces of its original use.

The spine has been repaired in the past by the owner with tape and glue; the interior is in reasonable condition.

A well-used religious object with a visible past.
