Armenian Catholic Prayer Card Collection — 8 Handmade Cards Honoring the Complete Saints of the Church
Bring the sacred heritage of the Armenian Catholic Church into your home, prayer corner, or church with this complete 8-card handmade collection — every saint the Armenian Catholic Church has ever produced, from the founding of Armenian Christianity in 301 AD to a canonization that took place just last year.
Each card features a full-color icon on the front. On the back: a short historical biography of the saint — who they were, what they lived, and why the faithful pray to them — followed by a prayer addressed directly to that saint or a inspirational quote from them. Cards are standard holy card size (2.5" × 4.25"), handmade in Austin, Texas.
The eight saints in this collection:
Saint Gregory the Illuminator — The first Catholicos of Armenia, whose preaching and miraculous healing of King Tiridates III led to Armenia's conversion to Christianity in 301 AD, making it the first Christian nation on earth. Every Armenian saint that follows traces their spiritual lineage back to his mission.
Saint Sahak Partiev — The last Catholicos of the Armenian Church descended from the line of Saint Gregory the Illuminator. Working alongside Saint Mesrop Mashtots, he translated the Scriptures into the newly created Armenian alphabet, giving the Armenian people their own written Bible for the first time.
Saint Mesrop Mashtots — The monk and scholar who invented the Armenian alphabet around 405 AD specifically so the Bible and liturgy could be translated into the Armenian language. His creation preserved the Armenian language and Christian faith together for over sixteen centuries.
Saint Nerses the Great — Catholicos of Armenia in the fourth century, a reformer who established the Armenian Church's first hospitals, orphanages, and monasteries, and worked to strengthen church discipline and pastoral care across the nation.
Saint Nerses the Gracious — Known as Shnorhali, "the Gracious," a twelfth-century Catholicos, theologian, poet, and hymn writer whose liturgical compositions are still sung in Armenian churches today. He worked tirelessly toward reunion between the Armenian and Byzantine Churches.
Saint Gregory of Narek — A tenth-century monk, mystic, and Doctor of the Church, whose Book of Lamentations remains one of the most profound works of Christian mystical literature ever written. Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Francis in 2015, he is invoked especially for depression, scrupulosity, and interior peace.
Saint Ignatius Maloyan — Archbishop of Mardin, martyred in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide after refusing to renounce his Catholic faith and convert to Islam. Beatified in 2001, he was formally canonized a saint on October 19, 2025.
Saint Gomidas Keumurdjian — A married Armenian priest who converted from the Armenian Apostolic Church to Catholicism and was martyred in Constantinople in 1707 for refusing to abandon his new faith. Beatified in 1929, he was canonized alongside Saint Ignatius Maloyan on October 19, 2025.
Why this collection is complete:
This set represents every saint the Armenian Catholic Church has ever produced — a small and historic tradition of roughly 750,000 members worldwide, founded in 1742 when a portion of the Armenian Church entered communion with Rome. From the fourth-century founding fathers to two martyrs canonized within the last year, this collection is genuinely complete, not a curated selection.
Handmade with Prayer and Purpose
These are not mass-produced cards. Each one is individually made, prayed over, and venerated before shipping — a tradition maintained to ensure your cards are not just art pieces, but sacred keepsakes. Made with high-quality photo paper laminated to double thickness, built to last a lifetime, not printed on cardboard like commercial prayer cards.
Details:
8 unique cards (front and back designs)
Each card includes a prayer, scripture, or reflection tied to the saint depicted
Suitable for gifting, parish groups, home altars, or daily reflection
Handmade to order in Austin, Texas
Why People Love These Cards:
The only complete Armenian Catholic saints collection available
Includes saints canonized as recently as October 2025
Deeply rooted in authentic Armenian Catholic history and devotion
A perfect spiritual gift for Armenian Catholic families, priests, and catechists
Made with intentional prayer, not automation
