**********************

Vintage and antique holy cards are true little works of art. Many antique ones were meant to carry a spiritual dimension as well, inspiring the receiver towards prayer. Many of them were printed in very limited quantities and even fewer survived the storage and handling throughout the decades. Holy cards make great items for scrapbooking or collage, or are even great bookmarks. Many are also highly collectable!
