Lord's Prayer with Golden Halo Portrait

Pattern description

This counted cross-stitch pattern features the complete Lord's Prayer in a gentle, readable script paired with a serene portrait of a figure wearing a golden halo. The warm yellow and soft gray palette creates a contemplative mood suitable for a spiritual or devotional needlework piece. At 143 × 143 stitches across nine DMC thread colors, it strikes a good balance for intermediate stitchers seeking a meaningful project without excessive complexity.

Stitching this design onto 14-count Aida fabric yields a finished piece approximately 10 × 10 inches—perfect framing size for a bedroom, prayer room, or quiet study corner. The symmetrical layout, with text on the left and the haloed portrait on the right, makes for satisfying visual balance. Whether as a personal spiritual practice or a heartfelt gift for someone of faith, this pattern transforms a cherished prayer into an heirloom-quality needlework keepsake.

The stitched lettering reads: Our father,

Who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it in the heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil. Amen..
