What's Inside the 21-Card Maronite Collection
THE FOUNDATIONAL SAINTS:
Saint Charbel Makhlouf — The Wonderworker of Lebanon. The Maronite hermit-monk whose tomb emitted light for forty-five days after his death and whose body was found incorrupt. Over 33,000 healing accounts were submitted to the Vatican during his canonization. Canonized 1977.
Saint Rafqa of Lebanon — The Suffering Servant of Christ. At 53, she prayed to share in the sufferings of Christ and bore 29 years of progressive blindness and physical incapacity with extraordinary peace. Canonized 2001.
Saint Nimatullah Al-Hardini — The Saint of Obedience. A Lebanese Maronite monk and teacher known for his humility and total obedience to religious authority. Canonized 2004.
Saint Maron — Father of the Maronite Church. The 4th-5th century Syriac hermit whose disciples founded the monastic movement that became the Maronite Church, gathering in the mountains around his memory after his death.
Saint John Maron — First Patriarch of the Maronites. The 7th-century leader who formally organized the Maronite Church as the Byzantine Empire's authority in the region weakened, establishing the patriarchal line that continues today.
Saint Awtel — A 6th-century Maronite monk and wonderworker, among the earliest generation of monastics who carried forward Saint Maron's ascetic tradition in the mountains of Lebanon.
Saint Nohra — A Maronite saint specifically invoked as patron for eye ailments and vision-related suffering.
Saint Marina the Monk — One of the most unusual and beloved saints of the Eastern tradition. Raised as a boy in a monastery to protect her from the outside world, she lived her entire monastic life disguised as a man, bearing false accusation and hardship with silent humility that was only revealed after her death.
Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder — The 5th-century Syriac ascetic who spent 37 years living atop a pillar in prayer, becoming one of the most famous holy men of the ancient Christian world. His monastery near Aleppo stands close to where the 350 Maronite Martyrs would later be killed, and he is honored with his own feast day in the Maronite calendar.
Saints Simeon Stylites the Younger and Elder — A second card depicting both stylite saints together, honoring the unbroken lineage of pillar-ascetics whose extreme devotion shaped early Syriac Christian spirituality in the region that gave rise to the Maronite Church.

Patriarch of the Maronite Church from 1670 to 1704, and the most significant scholar-patriarch in Maronite history, who organized the Church's liturgy, history, and ecclesiastical rites. Beatified 2024 — the first Maronite patriarch ever beatified.

The Maronite Crowning Ceremony — A symbol of love as worship, depicting the ancient Maronite wedding tradition in which the bride and groom are crowned, echoing the martyr's crown as a sign that married love is itself a form of witness.
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. Every card is a devotional work, created slowly and reverently, asking God to bless the person who will hold it. These cards are made in a far superior way than commercial prayer cards. Commercial prayer cards are made of cardboard; ours are made of high-quality photo paper and laminated to double thickness, making the card not only beautiful but strong enough to last a lifetime.
