Holy Cards History

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:

Catholic Forum

Aquinas and More

 

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

Saint Dominic Savio – Feast Day

Happy Feast Day to Saint Dominic Savio!  He joined our Lord in Heaven when he was only 15.  His motto since the time he received First Holy Communion was “death, but not sin”!  May we learn to imitate his example.

As mentioned in previous posts, this is an ongoing display of our Holy Card Project.  Holy Cards will continue to be added as our collections align with Feast Days of the Saints in our collection.

God bless.
