There is a rich history in the Catholic Church for the use of Holy Cards. This very pious practice dates back to the 1400’s in Europe. The earliest “holy card” was a wood block print of Saint Christopher dated to 1423. You can learn more about the history of holy cards at the following links:
All Saints Museum has an art project in the works that will require holy cards, and we also enjoy donating “used” holy cards to those who need them most. If you have duplicate cards, or used cards that you don’t want anymore, please donate them to All Saints Museum (P.O. Box 53356, San Jose, CA 95123) – we are a non-profit and 501c3 company.
We’ve also added a few “July Saints” into our Holy Card Project Exhibit. Please check this out!
God bless,
All Saints Museum
