Holy cards provide handy, portable devotional images of the saints. The saints were human beings with human problems who transcended through faith the burdens of the material world. To Catholics they are an extended family that serves as inspiration in the ability of prayer and faith to change one's life. The saints are mentors to the faithful. Holy cards are important to Catholics as objects of daily ritual. Many carry them for protection or out of loyalty to a patron saint. The cards are given as remembrances for communions, confirmations, and most commonly at wakes and funerals. Prayers are printed on the backs of the cards along with names and dates of the deceased. Even the least devout save the cards as a tribute. They are used as bookmarks, kept in drawers, carried in wallets, or openly displayed. They are in essence a popular form of art as well as objects for devotional purposes. HOLY CARDS provides a survey of this devotional art and as well as a gallery of saints organized thematically along with brief biographies, attributes, and powers.
