Handcrafted Prayer Cards Honoring the Saints of the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Traditions

At TheEasternChurch.com, every prayer card is a sacred offering and an heirloom. We believe the profound faith and visual beauty of the East deserve to be held close, venerated, and passed down.

Our Story and Spiritual Commitment: The Heart Behind the Cards

My commitment to this mission began during my discernment between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, a journey that ultimately led me to the Maronite Catholic Church. I dove into learning all I could about the rich heritage of the faith and quickly developed a deep love for the Orthodox faith and its Saints as well. Along the way, I became a prayer card collector from all the Catholic churches I was privileged to pilgrimage to.

But when I started to search for Maronite prayer cards—at churches or online—I found almost nothing. I soon realized that other Eastern Catholic Rites often suffered from the same lack of beautiful representation. This discovery sparked a mission: to bridge the gap between ancient faith and modern devotion.

This isn't just a business—it is my chosen path for an ascetic life in the modern world. My time at work, dedicated to this project, is transformed into a continuous act of prayer, striving to spread knowledge of the Eastern Saints. This service is three-fold: to the people, who need these devotional items; to the Churches, who need their heritage supported; and most importantly, a service to the Saints themselves. These holy people are examples of holiness that must be remembered, honored, and shared. I truly feel that all holy people, whether Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or of any other tradition, are examples of how to achieve holiness and should be accessible to the world.

This is why every single piece is hand-designed, prayed over, and meticulously made to order in Austin, Texas. I do not keep inventory; I craft each card individually from start to finish for the person who places the order. This commitment ensures that, during the making process, I can specifically pray for you, your family, or the church that will receive the prayer cards. This is a true work of devotion, not mass production.

We craft these devotional items with love, reverence, and deep devotion to the rich heritage of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, using materials designed to outlive us and be passed down in your Bibles to future generations.

Our commitment is to the entire tapestry of Eastern Christianity. While deeply rooted in the Maronite Catholic tradition, our mission is to honor and serve all Eastern Churches, including the Eastern Orthodox and the vast array of Eastern Catholic Rites—Byzantine, Chaldean, Melkite, Armenian, Coptic, Syro-Malabar, Syro-Malankara, and more. The saints, blesseds, venerables, and martyrs of the East deserve to be known, venerated, and remembered throughout the universal Church. At The Eastern Church, we are committed to making that happen — one handmade prayer card at a time.

Every card is:

Historically accurate and spiritually intentional.
Handmade with prayer for the person receiving it.
Printed on Museum Quality Archival Photo Paper and heavily laminated to protect them from the elements, ensuring unparalleled clarity and longevity.
Available for custom parish editions (50+ cards per church; we will replace our website on the back with yours).

From Saint Charbel and Saint Gabriel the Fool for Christ, to the Massabki Brothers, St. Simeon the Stylite, and the 350 Martyrs of St. Maroun, we create devotional art that helps Eastern Catholics and Orthodox Christians around the world deepen their connection to the saints of their tradition.

Whether you are a Byzantine Rite parish, a school, a monastery, or a devoted individual, our prayer cards are made with the intent to bless your journey, elevate your devotion, and spread awareness of the treasures within the Eastern Churches.

We believe the holiness of the East must not be forgotten. Every icon-inspired holy card we craft is an opportunity for prayer, evangelization, and spiritual connection. Start exploring our Prayer Card Directory today. May the Saints of the East pray for you and your family.
