Historical information

The small prayer six- page booklet recites lines of the Hail Mary Catholic prayer with an accompanied picture of Mary's religious life events, for example, The Annunciation, The Immaculate Conception etc.
St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne is a Catholic teaching hospital, and it would not have been unusual for a nurse to have this item in her possession, particularly if she was of Catholic faith.
