Title: Holy cards
First published: 2003
Description: One of the most important and endearing traditions of Catholic iconography is the holy card. Offering images of the saints, these portable objects of daily ritual are carried for protection, given as remembrances at communions, confirmations, and funerals, and collected and traded. Features both a pantheon of major religious figures in Catholicism and many little-known saints.
