Alleluia by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Alleluia is a rare, limited edition lithograph by P. Buckley Moss. Created as the 1986 Annual Christmas Print, this piece captures the timeless joy of the holiday season. A horse-drawn sleigh carries a family through a snowy village, past a church with its tall steeple and warmly lit homes. The passengers, bundled in winter clothing, carry a freshly cut evergreen, symbolizing the traditions of Christmas and togetherness. Discover more P.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s signature folk-art style, Alleluia features elongated figures, detailed sleighwork, and a snowy backdrop framed within a soft circular vignette. The lithograph technique highlights Moss’s delicate use of line and color—her earthy tones accented with festive reds and greens evoke warmth against the crisp winter setting.

As with all Moss fine art editions, Alleluia is considered signed and numbered prior to release—either by Moss’s own hand (before mid-1994) or by her authorized signature matrix thereafter.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Alleluia is joyful, reverent, and festive. The church steeple in the background emphasizes the religious meaning of Christmas, while the sleigh ride reflects the celebratory traditions of family and community. As an Annual Christmas Print, it carries special significance for collectors who cherish Moss’s holiday works.

Placement & Gift Ideas

Alleluia is ideal for seasonal display, particularly during Christmastime, and makes a meaningful gift for collectors of Moss’s Annual Christmas Prints. Its themes of faith, family, and holiday joy make it a treasured piece to display in a home’s main living area, near a Christmas tree, or in a family gathering space.
